#Pride #TransHistory
I've had my first meetings with my new Master's students this week, and it's so nice to hear their motivations for their research projects!
It's really helping me get through the last stretch of my PhD
A photo of a grey cat sleeping on a pink duvet, with a rainbow prism hitting him right on the cheek, looking like rainbow face paint. Behind him there are some rainbows on the wall as well.
He's ready for pride month :')

Travelling to Liverpool for my final ever PGR conference! Theses conferences are always a great opportunity to see the variety of research done in the history department (and an opportunity to socialise!)

Title: Modern Folk horrors of the British Isles Five images of various characters: A coven of murderous witches... Who play loud youtube videos on public transport. An ancient malevolent demon... With a three-hour podcast interviewing entrepreneurs. A flock of bloodthirsty ravens... Who think absolutely everything is "Woke". A primordial shambling beast... Wearing a "Make albion great again" baseball cap. A mob of satanic villagers... Who give bad reviews to books they haven't read.

Back home after the #rsa2025 and a wonderful week in Boston! It wouldnโt have been complete with out a visit to Salem too!
Thanks @toujoursbizarre.bsky.social for being the best travel buddy!
