Ruth Beecher

Really looking forward to listening to one of my children's history heroes on 4 March at our History & Practice - Special Interest Group #socialwork #childrensservices #histchild

Yesterday we posted posters and cards to survivors’ organisations across Ireland, Wales, Scotland & England with the hope that we will reach people who are not on social media and who might like to record their oral histories with us. We will preserve them & value them. Let us know if you can help.

Sent a repost to my miniscule number of followers but you never know, it only takes one great one :) Hope you and the project are doing well and that we see each other again soon :)

A fantastic opportunity to work with the wonderful @ailise-bulfin.bsky.social in Dublin. I mean obviously it is only the second city in Ireland with the first city being Cork. BUT a great job in a lovely team doing important work.

5.5 years job with a really interesting focus, now you’re talking.

A 3-months-long job for y’all. Tough times.

After last week’s Newcastle extravaganza we’re keen to think about *how* to write about internationalism(s) (& how not to), about the forgotten voices & sources & archives & readers. If you have been thinking about these questions do send us a short abstract by 5 May @bbkhistorical.bsky.social

On my read as soon as you can list!!

Don't forget to sign up to our mailing list - we will have our newsletter and our first project event coming up soon. Thanks to @joannabourke.bsky.social for the endorsement :)
