Black and white terrier and brown fluffy mix dogs share a cup of whipped cream

I’m working on an article trying to explain why the Victorian army had no concept of psychological battle trauma. But more importantly… my dog and her best friend had their first “pup cup”

A colorful flyer with images of trees, plants, a microscope, and two arctic scenes provides details about the IAHI-NACBS Visiting Research Fellowship. The due date is June 23 and more information can found at the nacbs.org website.

📢New fellowship opportunity 📢

We are thrilled to announce the launch of a new collaborative fellowship with the IU Indianapolis Arts and Humanities Institute (IAHI).

Laurier closed at 1:30! There was just thunder and lightning. It’s wild.

What was that saying about April showers? Hmm…

When all else fails, get a free sample at Starbucks. This abomination was called a frosty Santa.

I'm slightly out of touch: who is currently working on nineteenth-century medicine? #skystorians Especially interested in PhD students, early career folk, anyone doing jazzy, exciting stuff? Is that you? Someone you know? Ty! ✨

Hello! I am a Canadian historian currently wirking on 19th British sildiers’ mental health. Soon shifting to veterans’ suicide, homelessness, and dislocation. Side interests in heath histories, crime, and scandal. Recent book here!:

Excited by students’ research in my Victorian autobiography 4th year seminar. They are doing original research projects on everything from Memsahibs as homemakers to Polar exploration to queer self-expression. Fun to teach in my area! (A rare thing recently)

A great program!

Another incredibly engaging plenary “Savin, Sex, and Scandal: Rethinking Abortion in Early Modern
England” with Mary Fissell. Sadly topical piece. A shame judges don’t actually listen to historical experts on the history. #nacbs2024

DEIdea Exchange happening right now in Scissors #nacbs2024

Check out panel 37 first thing this morning at #NACBS2024 Looks like some amazing papers!

James Vernon giving a generous, sprawling talk on oil, colonialism, capitalism, global politics, and racial exploitation. Some surprising and engaging turns. Including… Kung Fu stewardesses!?! #nacbs2024

Thanks for coming and engaging! Hopefully just the beginning of sharing stories and resources

I’m in meetings all afternoon, but can confirm Denver is a fun city for historians.

This is the kind of good news story I am here for.

Enjoying Huckleberry coffee this morning in Denver

Off to Denver today! Very excited to catch up with all things British history.

Heading to Denver for #NACBS on Wednesday. DH roundtable on Friday, chairing a great panel Saturday, and presenting on Sunday. Should be a fun and busy few days!! Hoping to catch up with lots of great folks too.

First trip back to London post BL hack. Hoping to get back into the groove quickly.

Baking bread and reading about asylums. Not a bad Saturday

Did a brief interview with LBC last night. Throwback to my clubs research. Find it bizarre that the membership list of the Garrick Club now secret. Used to be a point of pride. Are members only ashamed of belonging to an all male club or are all club lists now secretive?

Queen Victoria’s Stalker

Pleased that History Today didn’t censor the naughty bits in this piece on Queen Victoria’s would be lover/stalker.
