Lecturers for the last 200 years: Optional Modules should explore a topic in depth giving students a sense of a field of enquiry and different approaches to it. The best teaching is research-led, delivered by experts in the area bringing students the latest knowledge in their field. 1/

What are the rules at the intersection of video games & public history? In this talk (www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBuX...), I explore Viking-Age law, video games, & pose some questions about gamified heritage. Thanks again to @jubalbarca.bsky.social for inviting me and sorry for the glitch at the start!

For those historians keeping track, esp #milhist folks, “history” is now a flagged word bc of its apparent connection to #DEI. Canary in a coal mine, indeed. @smh-historians.bsky.social 🗃️ www.tpr.org/military-vet...

No fooling! If you're in #Kirkwall on 1st April, come along to our reading of #poetry composed in and inspired by #Orkney and #Shetland. 7.30 pm in the St Magnus Centre, and free. A @ragnasislands.bsky.social event.

Really excited to join #WolseyWriters for a session on branching narratives! If you’re in Ipswich on the 1st, come play!

The inaugural Humanities Seminar at the University of Suffolk was a huge success! Thanks again @thecelticist.bsky.social!

I've been experimenting with creative assessments for a while. Students get to bring their skills and interests to them, they still get training in long-form, research-driven writing, and I get to have way more fun marking them. Win-win-win! Then I had a student ask if they could do a tattoo... 😳

We're so pleased to launch The Great Viking Survey today, a global study on how people view and connect with the viking world as history and heritage. We invite anyone, anywhere, to share their thoughts on vikings and their legacy! Let us see the Viking Age through your eyes at vikingsurvey.org

Consulting on a film & a game this year made me realise how much I miss being creative. So, I've started making silly little videos, offering insights on how to better integrate #History into #TTRPGs like #dnd. Check it out! www.youtube.com/channel/UC7W...
