A fantastic conference. Wonderful to catch up with fab scholars and to meet many people working on such interesting things. Very much looking forward to next steps.

Yesterday I was on BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour talking about the history of suicide. You can catch up here (from c.32mins):

My paper at the ‘Narratives of Captivity’ conference @northumbriauni.bsky.social looked at narratives of the condemned in the liminal space between death sentence & execution. To develop this work, I'd really like to work with experts in heritage or corpus linguistics.

Had a great time on BBC Woman's Hour today. Lovely to meet Nuala and the team

Check out this blog I wrote for @socialhistsoc.bsky.social on using @medimurdermaps.bsky.social in your teaching

The first article relating to @medimurdermaps.bsky.social has been published today. Check out "Spatial dynamics of homicide in medieval English cities: the Medieval Murder Map project" link.springer.com/article/10.1...

The best part about being Schools and College Liaison @crimsochull.bsky.social is speaking with students about university, what a Criminology degree involves, and where it can lead them.

Great to see a publication date for the Routledge Handbook of Jack the Ripper Studies. The chapter by @ourcriminalpast.bsky.social and I examines the extent to which discussions of this case matched developing schools of criminological thought at the time www.routledge.com/The-Routledg...

When a celeb meets @awakelam.bsky.social on #WhoDoYouThinkYouAre you know their ancestor is going to debtors' prison 😬

8 years ago today I submitted my undergraduate dissertation. Most of those 8 years were spent thinking about the fourteenth century, but I keep coming back to nineteenth century Wales.

Impact time: Have you used the Maps in your teaching? Are you planning to use it in your teaching? If so, it would really help us to hear about it. Please drop us a DM or email @stephemmabrown.bsky.social #Impact #Teaching #Medieval #History

Grateful for the funding to attend the @ihr.bsky.social seminar @wlvuni.bsky.social to hear @harbottlestores.bsky.social's paper on 19th-20thC post mortems in private houses and to meet some fab historians. A long day, but worth it.

Thank you so much for being a fab chair @djrgrey.bsky.social

Three years ago today I submitted my PhD. Here it is in #Wordcloud form. #HistCrim #PhDone

This is my fave starter pack 😍 Can we get #HistCrimSky working on here? We never really had a hashtag in the other place

On @ecrpodcasters.bsky.social this week @rozierhistorian.bsky.social, @latemedievalist.bsky.social, & @stephemmabrown.bsky.social discuss how to write book reviews (and why you should bother): open.spotify.com/show/7vbaa4n...

I've updated this just now to take into account people who responded yesterday and today. It's almost certainly still incomplete, so please let me know if you want to be added.
