Not the best weather, but reflecting on a warm welcome from my new academic home @UoBrisHistory last week, to mark the start of my research postdoc. Project explores the social, economic and cultural value/experience of writing in colonial South Asia

So happy to hear that my @GenderHistory article has been awarded the 2024 @RoyalHistSoc Alexander Prize. Started as a Masters thesis and refined into an article with the wonderful support of @sysgak & Kate Smith @historyleic. Judges are far too kind here: royalhistsoc.org/prizes/alex…

From Anglo-Indian/'Eurasian' experiences to the sexual identity of the imperial elite - Dorothy's letters reveal so much about interwar Britain, India and the wider empire. Can't wait to discuss this further at the wonderful @CamCulturalHist tonight.

Just adding the finishing touches to this paper! Excited to share new research from my (nearly finished) thesis on the mysterious red-pencil markings in Dorothy's letters from Wanowrie in the 1920s. Lots on editing, archives, slander and scandal...
