Biggest chapter I have ever written 🤯. All being said it will be around 13,000 words. Titled = Chapter 3: The Tory Titanic - Implementation, Conservative Opposition, and the Unraveling of the Community Charge, 1987-1990. 3 of 5 Chapters done, hoping the 4th will be done by September 🤞 #phdlife

Thanks so much to the Happ team at QUB for sharing me and Ciara's call for papers for our conference this autumn in their latest bulletin. @qubhistory.bsky.social @irishstudiesqub.bsky.social

There is still time to submit an abstract for a paper so please share with anyone who might be interested.

Am i the only person who does this 😂. I cite my work (in text) using Harvard and then once I'm finished, footnote it. it's tedious and time consuming but it's what I am used to coming from a history and political/social science background haha. @qubhistory.bsky.social #history #research

Delighted to launch my new YouTube series and Podcast: 'Talking History'. This is a new avenue for researchers (of all disciplines) to discuss their love of history.

If anyone is interested in speaking about their research etc, just let me know. Please share! @qubhistory.bsky.social #history

It's almost impossible to just one word. But if you could only pick one word to describe yourself as a student, scholar or researcher, what word would you pick to describe yourself? #research #describe #academia

Who was worse? Who did you hate more in Game of Thrones? Joffrey Baratheon or Ramsey Bolton? #gameofthrones

Actually never knew this unique fact about Irish History until I came across it. #irishhistory
