We have a medieval PDRA role on the same project recruiting too.

Devonians: I'm giving a talk with an excellent artist, Jo Lathwood, whose exhibition about women brewers opens in September. Come along! It's at East Quay, Watchet, and I'm v excited :) www.eastquaywatchet.co.uk/events/kitch...

In 1585 Katherine Doylye [!] had a dedicated 'cheese chamber' in her home stocked with a full complement of cheese making equipment and 80 cheeses worth £2 13s 4d. 📜🧀 Inventories in Oxfordshire, 1965, p. 193. @cheeseandpeople.bsky.social

It's our birthday party tomorrow. Big milestone. Hope you'll come and see us if you're in Bris. There's cake ☺️ 🍻🎂🍕🥳

And that’s a wrap! Doing a PhD with @markhailwood.bsky.social and Prof. Jane Whittle (with Dr. Tyler Rainford, left, as my PhD brother) was the absolute best. I may not be in academia, but you can bet I’ll still be infiltrating @drinkingstudies.bsky.social anyway 😂❤️

Pam's writing retreats are honestly top notch - the best I've been to. #Skystorians, take note :)

Yesterday I used this "AI -Free Statement" in a conference talk for the first time. Still trying to figure out the exact language. Feel free to borrow, modify, etc.

I will never get over how adorable it is that Disco uses the desk as a bed when I’m writing ❤️ best cat ever

In many histories of early modern printing houses, women play a secondary role. Heleen Wyffels questions this narrative and asks instead: what happens when we read the stories that printers themselves told about their family businesses?

The first 'Think While You Drink' by @goodchemistry.bsky.social & @drinkingstudies.bsky.social with @braciatrix.bsky.social & @amyjbburnett.bsky.social in conversation about women's brewing & beer drinking in Ireland was just brilliant. Thanks to the everyone who came on a hot evening to enjoy it.

Basically what Christina said! Come on down, beer fans/social history fans/women fans 🍻

Christina will be in conversation with @amyjbburnett.bsky.social about her new book, Filthy Queens, at Robin Hood on 30/4. Hope to see you there! @drinkingstudies.bsky.social

@tokeneffort.bsky.social Hi Laura! I just posted my thesis on LinkedIn and someone from University of Leeds got in touch to ask about tokens, so I mentioned your work - if they have any follow up questions, shall I put you in touch?

The brilliant @amyjbburnett.bsky.social giving a fascinating talk on British ale wives (female ale sellers) from her PhD research for the @goodchembrew.bsky.social international women's day brew day

Conference: Women and Alcohol: Dangerous Pleasures? Dublin, June 19-20: www.eventbrite.ie/e/women-and-...

My thesis is now online! I use broadside ballads, probate inventories, petitions, and court depositions to learn more about who ran the early modern alehouse in southwest England (and indeed the rest of England), and what this actually involved 🍻 research-information.bris.ac.uk/en/studentTh...

Last night I joined a careers panel. 70+ students came - incredible! But imagine my face when I learned that *every other panellist* had brought a 15min speech WITH SLIDES 🥴 Anyway here I am waving my arms about to try and distract from the fact that I was easily the least organised person up there

Being pragmatic today: making a bed for the cat on my desk, so she won’t sit on my keyboard ❤️

This is so excellent! I was *just* looking for something like this, as I wanted to find a bunch of images for a public talk I'm doing on International Women's Day. Favourite early modern image so far:

The new series of Yellowjackets is out today and I COULD NOT BE MORE EXCITED

Really excited about this talk, Amy, thank you so much for being part of our day on 8th! We're brewing an IWD collaboration beer on Thurs @atticbrewco.bsky.social with @cathw1901.bsky.social & her Brum Beer Babs so we'll canvas some opinions from the women there to give you some prompts! Cheers 🍻

I have a (very small) favour to ask of all you wonderful people! I'm doing a talk at the excellent Good Chemistry Brewing taproom. It would really help to get an idea of what people think about alewives (if anything!). Help a gal out by answering these 3 Qs? 💗 🍻 forms.gle/61jKrVhQsdG2...

I went on Drink Beer, Think Beer with John Holl to chat about all things Irish beer history and my latest book on the topic 'Filthy Queens; A History of Beer in Ireland' open.spotify.com/episode/7DW3...

Someone should write a book about all the crackpot theories that have ever been proposed about Stonehenge, and title it 'Unhenged'

Update: the cat has come to me! I am honoured

More proof that cats are excellent: one has wandered into the gym and made itself at home in the adults lounge. I wish you all the confidence of a cat ❤️

One for historians/history fans: do you have an example of a comic/graphic novel presentation of research? Or something similar? My favourite is by @sdamussen.bsky.social (linked below). If anyone has any other favourites, I’d love to see 😊 escholarship.org/uc/item/76p7...

Thanks to the excellent guidance of @markhailwood.bsky.social and Prof. Jane Whittle, I am officially PhDone! The past four years have been some of the best of my life, and I genuinely loved my project (on women’s work in 17th C alehouses) from start to finish. Cheers 🍻

Hello historians of BlueSky! I'm developing a Historic England CDP project about how to use static places (e.g. listable structures) to preserve the heritage of communities on the move. Maybe refugees, Gypsy people, Roma people, Traveller people, itinerant workers. Know any potential supervisors?🤞
