At @pembroke1347.bsky.social, we recently hosted a Summer Academy for The Elephant Group, a charity which works with high achieving Year 12s to access higher education. We had a great discussion about the breadth of a History degree, and explored 17th Century pamphlets! #skystorians #earlymodern

Having a little break from writing up the fourth chapter of my PhD in Stirling! And it’s absolutely stunning! 🤩

I’m spending a few days in Bristol Archives this week, starting research into the Storming of Bristol (July 1643) and the Siege of Bristol (August 1645) for my next PhD chapter! 🗡️ #skystorians #earlymodern

Last Saturday was my MA graduation at @pembroke1347.bsky.social! It was so lovely to see everyone from my undergraduate cohort reunited for the ceremony! ✨🎓

Spent today touring the Naseby battlefield with @ox.ac.uk! On 14th June 1645, after a decisive defeat by the Parliamentarians, it was in this field that Prince Rupert rode to protect the King during his retreat! 🐎🗡️ #skystorians #earlymodern

We finished up yesterday with wonderful presentations from Dr Ismini Pells on Philip Skippon’s war wounds, Professor Mark Stoyle on the massacre of women at Naseby, and @mandydeb.bsky.social on the landscape of the battlefield! #skystorians #earlymodern

I am very excited to be visiting @ox.ac.uk for the weekend course Naseby: The Memory of a Battle in a Changing Landscape. ⚔️ Starting off with a fascinating insight into the wounded soldiers of Naseby by Professor Andrew Hopper!

I am delighted to have been invited to @trinityhallcamb.bsky.social to deliver a History lecture this week, for their Arts and Humanities Open Day! ✨ The theme was Royalists and Roundheads in the British Civil Wars, 1642 - 1651, with interactive use of primary sources! #skystorians #earlymodern

I held a class on study skills for first year Historians this afternoon! Talking about the importance of essay planning and exam technique. 📝 #skystorians
