A wonderful workshop where I too contributed, this time on metaphors of the body politic in economic debates in colonial Virginia. Really enjoyed listening to the contributions of Tom, Rachel and others!

We’re advertising for a 30 month postdoc position in US Politics (very broadly construed). The role is mainly research, but allows the holder to gain experience teaching UK and US undergraduates. Happy to answer any and all questions. Application deadline 27/10. (Start date early 2026.)

Today people went around my neighborhood in north east London spray painting St George’s crosses onto people’s homes. Many of these houses have non British people living in them. This is getting very dark, very quick.

What an amazing conference! Really enjoyed my first BrANCH/BGEAH conference and meeting so many wonderful researchers. Watch this space for more stuff on conspiracy!!

Will be at the BGEAH/BrANCH annual conference this weekend in Cardiff if anyone else is there and wants to get coffee! Will be presenting on conspiracy and local politics on Sunday 🥳

Always love seeing online options (even if it’s a little late in the UK) - looks fantastic!

Please do join my fellow committee members at this amazing conference! Whilst I’m away on research, I know it’ll be a fantastic event ✨

Had a great time @mhs1791.bsky.social yesterday examining the MA Baptist Church’s origins. Such an amazing archive that I’ve had to book another appointment! James Winchell’s 1820 history includes a familiar echo of the ongoing complex relationship with the founders at the top of the page…

Give Ben Franklin’s World a follow for all things early America. A fantastic podcast hosted expertly by @lizcovart.bsky.social.

What a fantastic conference! It was an honour to present among such distinguished speakers.

Last chance to apply!

Reading a newspaper from Boston in 1773, where a man is advertising his goods. He argues that people might be averse to him because he is a “Stranger” to the continent, but “if this be a Crime, the Blood of every American is yet tainted with Guilt.” Seems very fitting in these current times!

Consider applying to this great conference. MA, PhD & Early Career scholars - we’d love to hear from you!

What a fantastic conference! Really appreciated the chance to share my research with such a welcoming and informed group of people. Plus, I loved spending a few days visiting Edinburgh and seeing the sights! (Cue serious photo…)

Really looking forward to presenting at this conference next week! Such a great opportunity to discuss everything #GreekTraditionTwenty
