it's not even 7am and week 1 of teaching is still 2 weeks away and I've already gone "please this is the quiet coach". 2024 commuting tales are so 2023.

Marie Curie at the International Committee on Intellectual Cooperation (1924) "It was ... advisable to develop the system of ... international scholarships. Most scholarships were national, and it was very difficult to grant them to foreigners"

Soft Power, but make it red. Coming out in 2024.

Looking forward to co-writing a book for the first time. It sure helps to write on life writing with my life partner!

The sheer beauty of a copy-edited text. Copy editors are so precious!

Looking forward to speaking about the "Institut Français du Royaume Uni WW2 collection" at the Institut Français du Royaume Uni on 20 Nov.

Bluesky is thankfully allowing me to post said scholarship so please share with any students who might be interested.

Trying to post on the other site (for my dept account) a scholarship opportunity for "UK students from Black backgrounds to undertake a fully-funded research-related master's degree" and it's blocking the link as "potential harmful" 🫥

I'm delighted to be giving a talk about a new project for a joint meeting of the IHR seminars in early modern & French history next Monday, Nov. 6. at 5 pm - in person or hybrid I learned. Hardly out of the starting gate stage, so I look forward to all suggestions! www.history.ac.uk/events/view-...

I'm currently revising an article and so much of what Catherine says here rings true. Including the headed quote - thankfully the reviewers, the editor and a very kind colleague have been holding my hand to get the conclusion right (or better).

Warmest congratulations to our colleague Dr Dana Lungu for the launch of her monograph "Female Heroism in the Works of Corneille and Racine". The book is available in hard and e-copies via brill.com/display/titl...

Which anglophone outlets would scholars of #IR / #sport approach to pitch a (translated) 2500-word piece on the role of sport in international relations in history and today? Piece has appeared in French recently so The Conversation is not an option as they don't accept translations.

The Department of French at the University of Bristol is now on Bluesky! We look forward to sharing student and staff news 🇫🇷 Frenchstudies 🗣️ modernlanguages 📖comparativeliterature 🌐 Francophoneworld

#HelloESR Je suis nouvelle lecturer en histoire de la France à @frenchatbristol.bsky.social et travaille sur la diplomatie culturelle, le soft power, le genre dans les relations internationales européennes contemporaines, la France Libre (2GM) et les communautés françaises à l'étranger

Will the book be a French history book or a European history book (hum... will it ever "be")? Asking myself big questions this morning so I'm going to turn to @drgoeschel.bsky.social intro for his Hitler and Mussolini book to begin thinking through all this.

Houseplant sale day 🪴 Campus felt very wholesome with students walking around with plants in their hands
