Lecturer (Education) in Modern European History at Queen's University Belfast Apply now for the Lecturer (Education) in Modern European History role on jobs.ac.uk - the leading job board for higher education jobs. View details.

A proper 12-month replacement post with decent salary (for UKHE, at least) in modern European history. Belfast is a decent place to live - relatively affordable apart from extortionate pint prices - and I can personally vouch for what a great & friendly School we have.

Nice to be back in @historytoday.com after a wee gap of 15 years, with a few thoughts on Alec Ryrie’s new ‘The Age of Hitler and How We Will Survive It’. Interesting, enjoyable, not entirely persuasive but I have tried to disagree well.

Another new low. Prospective Reform Home Secretary, while discussing the violence in Epping referring to immigration as ‘racial terrorism’. ‘Some would say’ (typical slippery qualifier) doesn’t wash because only someone from the extreme right would say this. So inflammatory.

Mein Kampf 100 years on What is its significance for the resurgent far right?

A few (more) thoughts on Mein Kampf, 100 years on compass.icwa.org/p/mein-kampf...

Beautiful stillness up Ben Macdui.

After 12 months of mending, physio, gym the final bit of rehab - a gentle stroll up Mullach Clach a Bhlair and Sgor Gaoith with great views of the 4000ers.

If walking the hills is your thing, do consider a donation to the nearest MRT!

I think some of the responses have a whiff of that. These things are doubtless a mix of generation, class, habitus, and regional vernacular, but having been taught ‘an’ in my bog-standard SE England comprehensive school in the early 80s I’ll ride out the accusation of pretentiousness happily.

Knocking those who might have grown up with ‘an historical’ and use it naturally?

No axe to grind on the specifics, but I didn’t think we were into policing other people’s speech these days, one way or the other.
