Reflecting on my broad but niche area of expertise. An 18th c.-1945 historian interested in emotions, esp. anxiety, intersected with health/well-being, political, social, gender and family history, and personal/life writing. Anyone else got an interesting mix? #twitterstorians

There is real ignorance about the HE sector - a lot of people are bearing the brunt of the cost of living crisis, living hand to mouth. Even many of those able to afford things now don’t have the security to do so in x months, waiting to see if they get more work. 1/

This came back on my timeline this evening. It was a lovely discussion on my journal article on female distance education through letters in the 18thc. and learning distance rhetoric, something we learn all the time today with and through different technologies #twitterstorians
