#NACBS at Montreal has been wonderful. I presented here for the first time. Really useful feedback and stimulating panels across the entire program. The presidential address on J.S. Mill's 'family life' was a real treat. Looking forward to coming back to it again.

Bonne journée Montréal et @thenacbs.bsky.social! C’était ma deuxième fois mais toujours une conférence super! J’ai passé une bonne expérience et je souhaite retourner encore, très bientôt j’espère.

Just back from a very successful meeting of @thenacbs.bsky.social in Montreal (the biggest yet, I think) -- a huge thanks to Brian Lewis, Katherine Grenier, and all the organizers and presenters. Loads of good work and camaraderie - and many notes to think over in coming days. #nacbs2025

Don’t miss “Out of Crisis: Advocating for British Studies” sponsored by the @royalhistsoc today at noon! #nacbs2025

Reflections on history pedagogies in this panel have made me think about the bounds of play/re-acting and historical accuracy and perspectives - very interesting #nacbs2025

Have heard so many great papers so far at #nacbs2025 & esp by ECR researchers, future of historical research is robust. But danger lies in structural impositions risking future of humanities & social sciences courses in UK HE & elsewhere. Be part of the conversation tomorrow with @royalhistsoc.org.

1/3 Just wrapped #nacbs2025 in Montréal and, while I have to head home early, I had a fantastic time presenting with @melissa-glass.bsky.social and @ma-jones.bsky.social. Big thanks to @brodiewaddell.bsky.social and everyone who attended for such a smart, generous session.

Missing the last day of “Queer British History” panels today but leaving #NACBS2025 with lots to think about and weird pictures after spending a day doing Montreal the @tomhulme.bsky.social way. Au revoir, montreal!

This was a great panel at #nacbs2025, with all papers informative & thought provoking. Hoping to recruit its members @saimanasar.bsky.social @shahmimaakhtar.bsky.social Rob Waters & @hannahelias.bsky.social to give papers for our @cont-brit-hist.bsky.social seminar at @ihr.bsky.social next year 🤞.

Fascinating panel this morning at #nacbs2025 on @massobsarchive.bsky.social & ways that @clairelanghamer.bsky.social @lucydelap.bsky.social Paul Deslandes Lucy Curzon & Jen Purcell use the archive & how it has informed & shaped their work as well as some of the ethical tensions that arise.

📣 #NACBS2025 📣 Don’t forget to pick up your Manchester UP book if you reserved one. And there’s still a few unclaimed ones up for grabs. @thenacbs.bsky.social

Brilliant morning at #NACBS thinking about singleness in 19th-century England and Ireland. I spoke on unmarried sisters, the spinster aunt, and finding space in the family for renegotiating relationships.

About to hear a real powerhouse roundtable about women's activism in the 1970s here at #nacbs2025 Montreal. I'm thinking and hearing about... actual History all the time? It's a real treat after the emergencies and alarums of UK HE. 👍
