I had a wonderful day at the @socialhistsoc.bsky.social's Festival of History at Senate House today. I felt as if I had had the privilege to step out of normal concerns and the world for a few hours and just be immersed in social histories. It was quite refreshing.

Really great to attend today's Festival of Social History, featuring two great panels and an excellent keynote by Naomi Tadmor on poverty and the legal history of settlement. @socialhistsoc.bsky.social @ihr.bsky.social

Inspiring Festival of Social History hosted by @socialhistsoc.bsky.social & @ihr.bsky.social at Senate House yesterday. 8 super panel talks ranged from early modern wills by @lsangha.bsky.social to 20thc. China by @isabellajackson.bsky.social. Naomi Tadmor’s keynote used parliamentary texts superbly
