PhD students: you are ALWAYS welcome at IHR seminars. You don't need to sign up in advance, you don't need to have an introduction, you don't need to be based at a London institution and you don't need to be able to 'prove' that you're working on something 'relevant'. No gate-keeping at the IHR!

We now have more followers on Bluesky than on Twitter: and this (and our substack: britainathomeandabroadsince1800.substack.com ) are our primary means of communicating with people.
