In a time where populists are using the press more effectively than mainstream policians it feels a good time to publish on proto-populists doing the same in 1806 So if you fancy a reappraisal of William Cobbett's early radical influence, this one is for you onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

I have no words to describe how terror-filled I am at this rise of police powers across the world (including in the US) to police the very identity of people.

Wholeheartedly recommend any historians & especially PhD/ECRs think about submitting an abstract. In a dark, isolating & stressful field SHS conferences have always been welcoming beacon of light. They're full of great research & actually really fun.

The game camp features a 'Nomad' camp complete with Romanies - which is well done with great bits of language thrown in. 1/4

I'm not sure any amount of prior awareness actually prepares you emotionally for how few opportunities there are immediately post-PhD atm, especially in the humanities

One of the worst things about the academic job market is the creepy & frankly racist obession with posh white academics hiring other posh,white academics to whitesplain racial and colonial histories over minority academics. Its not progressive, its not post colonial - its just colonial.
