This Monday! I'll be talking about how migrants seeking protection creatively use paperwork to make moral claims to rights - in Britain today and 16thC England. Does a lack of rights limit the impact of paperwork? And how can we use of paperwork recentre migrants in histories of protection?

Only a week to go!

Trying to find an image for an event on "Changing the record: how people use(d) paperwork to make their world" (@rshc.bsky.social), which mostly involves me scrolling through wikimedia commons thinking that absolutely every archive looks stunning and attractive. I'm... not a good judge on this...

Screenshot of the event page for 'British History Today': On 1-2 May 2025, the Queen Mary Centre for British Studies hosts its first conference, British History Today. The event brings together 24 panels of experts covering a range of cutting-edge research across two days of parallel sessions. The conference will close with a plenary on the purpose of British history writing in today’s political, cultural, and higher education landscape. Booking essential for all attendees.

Just signed up to hear all about 'British History Today' at @qmcbs.bsky.social and ‘British History from the Middle of Nowhere’ by @julialaite.bsky.social for the @rshc.bsky.social public lecture on May 1st. Looking forward to seeing some of you there!
