Workshop Session: Modern British Trans History Modern British Studies Conference, University of Birmingham, 3–5 June 2026 We are seeking expressions of interest for a developmental workshop session in modern British trans history to be held at the Modern British Studies conference in June. Participants will share precirculated papers of between 2,500 and 5,000 words, and discuss these with each other in an extended-length session as part of the conference programme. They will therefore have the opportunity to receive in-depth feedback in a supportive environment grounded in field expertise, as well as to participate in a wider discussion with fellow modern British trans historians about the state of the field. Participation is open to researchers working on any aspect of the trans history of Britain, Ireland, and the British Empire since c. 1700. The session is primarily aimed at postgraduate and early-career researchers, but anyone who feels as if they would benefit from the opportunity to workshop a paper is welcome to register their interest, including historians working outside the academy. If the session is oversubscribed, preference will be given to current PGRs/graduate students. MBS conference attendees who would like to attend the session without workshopping a paper will have the opportunity nearer the time to register their interest and to receive the precirculated papers. To register your interest in workshopping a paper in this session, please write to Sam Rutherford (sam.rutherford@glasgow.ac.uk) by 16 January 2026 with a brief indication of your potential paper topic.

I'm organising a trans history workshop session as part of the @mbsbirmingham.bsky.social conference in July. Details below. Do get in touch by end of next week if you have any questions or would like to register your interest, and pass on to anyone you know who might be keen to participate.

Very happy that my article "Imperial Masculinities: Involuntary Losses of Semen as Markers of White Virility (France, 1830s–1880s)" is out now, in the European Journal for the History of Medicine and Health! brill.com/view/journal...

Fotocollage zeigt links Mahjub bin Adam Mohamed, genannt Bayume Mohamed Husen, im hellen Anzug mit Krawatte. Rechts oben ein Foto vom Haus Vaterland nachts. Rechts unten der Stolperstein in der Brunnenstr.

Bayume Mohamed Husen starb am 24. November 1944 im KZ Sachsenhausen.
Er war 1929 aus Daressalam in Tansania - bis 1918 Kolonie "Deutsch-Ostafrika" - nach Berlin gekommen, um das ausstehende Gehalt für den Einsatz als Kindersoldat in der deutschen Kolonialtruppe im Ersten Weltkrieg einzufordern. 🧵

The Life and Legacy of Sion Assidon For the Moroccan Jewish leftist, the decolonization of his homeland and the liberation of Palestine were inextricably entwined.

"Assidon believed that, at its core, the Palestinian cause is a matter of human justice, that its rationale is one of righting wrongs—and, as such, does not allow for half measures."

Can't wait for the movie adaptation.

An excellent PhD opportunity for someone to work on family separation during WW1 or WW2. I've done some research on Italian emigrant families separated when the father was serving in the Italian Army and it's a really fascinating area of study. royalhistsoc.org/calendar/phd...

Cream background. Headline is in orange at bottom. It reads: Liberalism as Fascism’s Prefiguration by Abeera Khan. Above is a photograph. It shows the back of a crowd as they move down a street lined with tall buildings. Some wave rainbow flags.

‘What becomes of gender and sexuality amidst the collapse of the liberal world order?’

In this essay, Dr Abeera Khan from SOAS’s Department of Gender Studies examines our current moment as one after homonationalism, where ‘the sparse and vanishing wages of inclusion lie exposed.’
