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 :)
