Our committee has voted the same way. We’ve not been active on Twitter/X for ages due to the changed nature of the platform, but developments a few weeks ago raised the question of whether we should be there at all. It was where #OnePlaceWednesday began, but it’s no longer the place for us.

Tomorrow! In person at university of Glasgow and online

The special issue of Cultural and Social History on “Researching Student Lives: Methodological and Theoretical Perspectives” (co-ed. w Georgina Brewis & Jodi Burkett) is live - yay!

Hello! I am sharing information about my @researchireland.ie project Locating Loss: histories of infertility in landscapes and spaces. I would love to connect with researchers/ practitioners from a wide range of backgrounds and disciplines, so please share widely! @nursingclio.bsky.social

Adding a #OnePlaceWednesday hashtag to this one – and looking forward to seeing more #OnePlaceStudies making use of National Farm Survey documents when they appear online a little later this year!

A little preview of my forthcoming journal article on council tenants' resistance and resilience today in @scotnational.bsky.social. Massive thanks to @charlielynch.bsky.social for reaching out and giving my work a write-up. www.thenational.scot/politics/257...

Hurrah!!! The brilliant Sumita Mukherjee has a new book out about the lives of South Asian children in Modern Britain in just a few weeks. I love the cover photo! A must read so now would be a great time to preorder and commission reviews. www.hurstpublishers.com/book/imperia...

One PhD and one postdoc position available in the interesting ERC research project on Beyond Thalidomide: The Patient as an Agent of Change (2024-2029) run by dr Birgit Nemec: jobs.univie.ac.at/job/Universi...

Fantastic looking online conference all about the history of motherhood - and including cutting edge new research by FIVE current history PhD researchers from @mbsbirmingham.bsky.social

This is a great conference for ECRs, postgrads, mid career and senior - lots of lively exchange and fun too

📣3 days to go until the deadline - we can't wait to see you for our 50th anniversary in Lancaster!

If you are in Oxford next Tuesday and histories of ageing, work, race and migration are your thing, do come to my paper: Grey Escape: Britons Retiring Overseas, c. 1980-2010. It may make you think twice about chasing the sun in your sixties... Details here: talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/90a...

In 1982, inspired by the work of MO the National Lesbian and Gay survey began, it sought to capture what everyday life was like for queer people living in the UK. For our latest open call we're continuing the work of NLGS and asking what does it mean to be queer every day? #lgbtqhistory

Just finished this absolutely brilliant book. Rewrites the history of the 60s in particular. It’s not cheap as it’s an academic book, but order it from your library. It’s eye-opening! www.bloomsbury.com/uk/ninety-hu...

Ninety Humanists and the Ethical Transition of Britain by Callum Brown: a brilliant piece of social and intellectual history which re-writes the 1960s in particular and means you'll never look at the twentieth century in the same way again. Can't recommend highly enough. Genuinely transformative.

JOB ALERT! 3-year postdoc at @girtoncollege.bsky.social - research anything you like in History, Archaeology or Anthropology in a wonderful, welcoming scholarly community. PLEASE SHARE! Closes 12 January www.girton.cam.ac.uk/job-vacancie...

🚨Special announcement: our annual conference will be 3–4 Sept 2026 at LSE Library, in collaboration with @lselibrary.bsky.social, & Friends House, London. Theme: Celebrating the Centenary of the Women’s Library: One Hundred Years of Women’s History. Call for Papers coming mid-Jan! #WomensHistory

I'll be telling how the treasures of the Women's Library collections have provided 50 of the objects I discuss in my forthcoming book, 'The British Women's Suffrage Movement in 100 Objects: a material history', forthcoming from Bloomsbury in July (£24.99). No such book could be compiled without TWL

@charlielynch.bsky.social you have a new article out?

Lovely Christmas present left on my doorstep today - it really is as amazing as I’d hoped -all 29 chapters. The illustrations look fantastic - big thanks to Lund Humphries and the editors. Never seen an academic book looking happier on a coffee table 🙂

Hurrah for this and that generation of feminists.

📣You have just under a month to send in your proposal for our 2026 Social History Society Conference - where we will be celebrating out 50th anniversary! 👉Find out more here: socialhistory.org.uk/conference/s...

What insights can feminists gain from revisiting the 1975 World Congress for International Women's Year? Natali Moreira explores this overlooked event using the Women of the Whole World journal archived at @fotwl.bsky.social 🗃️✊

When will this crisis get any attention whatsoever!? A THOUSAND ACADEMIC STAFF AT ONE INSTITUTION SERVED REDUNDANCY RISK NOTICES! And that's not counting what's surely being visited on professional services staff too. This is an economic catastrophe, to say nothing of the intellectual catastrophe!

New calls for research funding: bit.ly/44d2mTb Today we open calls for the Society's next rounds of 'Early Career Fellowship Grants' and 'Open Research Grants'. These schemes offer support for post-doc and later career historians to pursue research. Closing dates: 6 March 2026 #Skystorians 1/2

A twofold plight: for researchers and for Library staff (some of whom are also researchers). Past time for DCMS to take note.

Picked this up last week. You know your future uni is perfect for you when they have a bangin’ knitting book. These are on my knit list:

Excited to announce this is in production. A Fleece to Fashion tour of Scotland’s famous knitting sector taking in hand and machine, local and global, making, design, marketing and more. And it will be Open Access with @bloomsburyacad.bsky.social

This is going to be splendid!

This is very bad for access in my local town which needs this provision not to mention the jobs lost. The fact that an institution like this is reliant on overseas student fees is mad.

Winter Graduations are upon us @uofglasgow.bsky.social and what better graduation gift than Glasgow University Knits available to order online www.universityofglasgowshops.com/collections/...
