Excellent piece about the impact of borders and visas on academic participation @thenacbs.bsky.social @jbritishstudies.bsky.social www.nacbs.org/post/invisib...

"It’s the grubbiness that comes through: the smell of families — told to use no more than five inches of bathwater a week between them — crammed into shelters where a bucket served for a toilet." On @amyhelenbell.bsky.social's UNDER COVER OF DARKNESS: www.thetimes.com/culture/book...

Very excited (and a bit nervous) about this live talk on @ww2tv.bsky.social today!

This is a remarkable new digital archive of the Foundling Hospital's records. 100,000 pages made available online with the help of 6,500 volunteers! Well done to all involved 👏

Last year, I published a memoir/ criminal history about my father’s role in defending two murderers in a notorious case in 1970s New Brunswick. It was difficult to reveal personal details of my life but it helped me connect with other people touched by the trial and aftermath

My latest book - Under Cover of Darkess - Murders in Blackout London- just came out with @yalebooks.bsky.social and I’m very proud of it

I’m excited to be here! To introduce myself- I’m an awkward Canadian historian who writes criminal histories
