Grateful for the invitation & opportunity to present my work at Universität Tübingen's Seminar für Zeitgeschichte yesterday! 🇩🇪

First @shafrhistorians.bsky.social conference ✅ Thank you to @vgonzalezmaltes.bsky.social for coordinating our panel, to @rerbelding.bsky.social for being a great co-panelist, and to @kangborderlaw.bsky.social our wonderful chair/commentator!

First time presenting at @shafrhistorians.bsky.social this week. Very happy to have presented with such brilliant historians on the @hotcus.bsky.social panel: “Revisiting Race, Gender, and Religion in Wars during the Long Twentieth Century.”

First (of hopefully many!) #OAH2025 so great to learn from and meet both old and new colleagues 💫

Events 2026 Call for hosts!🚨 HOTCUS is seeking hosts for our 2026 events, including the Winter Symposium (February) and the Annual Conference (June). We can only run our events with member support and input, so please do consider if this is something that you can support at your institution!

A reminder that the deadline for the Call for Papers for the HOTCUS Annual Conference (18-20 June 2025 - Lancaster University) is this Sunday, March 2! All the details are on our website at hotcus.org.uk/events/annua... The deadline for our PG/ECR workshop led by Andrew Prescott is also on Sunday.

Signs that the winter will soon be over: snowdrops in Old Court and aconites in the college gardens.
