Many thanks again to our contributors for their diligent and brilliant work on the volume, as well as the @BloomsburyHist and the Histories of Internationalism series ☺️

I loved hosting these workshops. Each time I've learned so much just being able to have the space and time to talk to others about their experiences researching, teaching, and curating hidden histories. Thanks to all who took part 💜 if the funding gods are kind, we'll be back 🤞 – at Newcastle Upon Tyne, England

A lovely (and generous) review of my book - Occupiers, Humanitarian Workers, and Polish Displaced Persons in British Occupied Germany - in @CEUReviewBooks today 😊

Thank you @CEUReviewBooks and @NowKatarzyna
#Reviewer2 strikes again. Why would a journal forward on inappropriate comments which were WRITTEN IN ALL CAPS.
It is tough enough getting a review back without being shouted at through email

Second workshop with @QueerBritain - this time at University of Nottingham! A lovely talk by QB's new curator, Jennifer Shearman, and some excellent and thoughtful discussions by all involved.

It was a lovely turnout for my talk about my book, but also all the other things which have sprouted from it. An engaging and fun audience of scholars and students from all levels, having such a mix really made it interesting.
Thanks again to @EastCentreUea for inviting me 🙂
