Feeling stressed re. jobs today (post-comedy come down, is that a thing??) if anyone has any vacancies upcoming I'm a very interdisciplinary academic researcher, can lecture in #History, #HSTM, #SciComm, #museumstudies #Heritage & I'm engagement friendly #AcademicTwitter
Mentoring such a great group of @HistoryatHud students this academic year has been a complete joy, and I'm so pleased with the exhibition they've produced for us at @PennineHeritage !
Thanks to @ModelHistorian and the @PennineHeritage team for their hard work across the year and for a fitting end to our co-produced @HistoryatHud Hands On History project. Congrats to our students - always nice to see parents & partners at the launch to share in their success
