Thank you!

On a related note, I am very excited (and grateful) for the award of a David Berry Fellowship in the History of Scotland and the Scottish People, which will allow me to pursue some research on a new project on ‘Remembering Rights of Way in Early Modern Britain’!

I was so pleased to learn of my election as an Associate Fellow of @royalhistsoc.org, continuing my membership beyond my PhD.

A week late but (still) reflecting on a wonderful 3 days at my first @socialhistsoc.bsky.social ‪‪conference. So much fascinating social history research, provoking conversations across time periods/topics, with setting of @bclivingmuseum.bsky.social as an added bonus #SHSConf2025

Seconding all of this - thank you to the @socialhistsoc.bsky.social for the opportunity to present some of my new research, and to everyone who stayed to attend our panel as the very last session of the conference!

The FEATHERS conference in Leiden last week was absolutely fantastic, full of excellent papers and truly interdisciplinary conversation. Thank you to the FEATHERS team for organising, and for giving me the opportunity to participate!

Thank you, Mark!

Submitted my hardbound thesis yesterday, which means I am #PhDone!

Please share the CFP for our Work, Authenticity, and Social Identity in Early Modern Britain Conference, to take place 10-11 June 2025 at the University of Warwick, with keynote addresses from Steve Hindle, @jwhittle.bsky.social, @markhailwood.bsky.social & @brodiewaddell.bsky.social!

Ok, I've started a crime history starter pack, hmu to be added!

GOOD NEWS for the discipline: there are *many* #earlymodern historians. Bad news: we couldn't all squeeze into one pack. So here's the second, do follow all the wonderful researchers in this one as well: go.bsky.app/NQqDFr1 #skystorians

I have created a starter pack for scholars of the long seventeenth century! I will be adding to it; do comment or message if you would like to be added - & share!

Thank you!

Could I please be added, if there is space?

Thank you!

I'm starting a pack for Postgraduate and Early Career Researchers working on any aspect of Historical Studies!

Given the X-odus (see what we did there? A true fire bird): which other #earlymodern centres have arrived here already?

We've got a starter pack for easy following, but keen to hear about more: go.bsky.app/LLzFj3b
#skystorians

With the twitter exodus: welcome, and here are some #earlymodern historians posting about early modern stuff (though I should update it now it’s more than 50 in those things) go.bsky.app/VQeQbbF

Thank you!! And I would love to chat sometime soon about my research, as well as what you're currently working on!

Thank you!!

Thank you for doing this - such a useful shortcut to finding other history PhDs/ECRs! Could I please be added?

Thank you for compiling this list! If there is still space, could I please be added?

CFP below for Oaths and Oath-Taking in Historical Perspective: Britain, Ireland, and the British Empire, 1700 to the Present, 7 March 2025, Northumbria University in Newcastle. Keynote from me but don't let that put you off!
