It’s been great working with @d-j-frost.bsky.social on the third volume in our series on the history of the British far left. The volume, once again, brings together established and emerging scholars and Dan was instrumental in getting a lot of them involved in the project. It has been exciting to!

This panel looks fab. I wonder why there's no equivalent of NACBS in the UK, mega conference of the newest British history. I guess that Brum and Warwick are trying to do so, but there's nothing that comprehensive.

Next up at #nacbs2025 is a fab lineup of rising history stars in field of histories of activism in late 20th century Britain incl: @racheljcollett.bsky.social @alfiesteer.bsky.social Dan Frost & Jess White.

Really interesting too on the role of Croydon Airport vis-à-vis the interwar far right - I think I may have to find a way to include this in my @moderniststudies.bsky.social paper!

This is a brilliant easy on empire loyalism, multicultural drift and dispossessed whiteness in outer south London. Cc @academicdiary.bsky.social @transpontine.bsky.social @ashdisorient.bsky.social @liamliburd.bsky.social

This @renewaljournal.bsky.social essay is so brilliant - the history of the British far right narrated entirely through its activities in Croydon. Every sentence makes it clear it was written by a scholar with a genuine love for history and for Croydon. renewal.org.uk/articles/sub...

Met so many great historians at this weekend's Southern Conference on British Studies, in beautiful St. Pete Beach, Florida! Really enjoyed speaking about the 'first' New Left in Croydon on Friday's panel on 'Redefining Politics in Twentieth Century Britain'. Next stop: Montreal!

Not watched the most recent Tifo Podcast (@tifofootball.bsky.social) yet, but given the detour of the last two into historiography – cyclicality & helicality (www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJvO...), Great Man Theory (youtu.be/SGtGYJXhfq8?...) – I'm looking forward to a discussion of lieux de mémoire

I've got quite a few events that I'm involved with, in November and December, so doing a quick thread

Have just gotten around to setting up an account, so will begin by sharing my 2025 publications so far!
