Great new exbo at my place of work #LSBU on community activism in SE1 in 1970s @se1.news. Free to all so come along to Borough Road Gallery at 103 Borough Road, SE1 0EH 😊. #localhistory @chppc.bsky.social

Really pleased and proud to announce a new @ihr.bsky.social seminar - Migration and Mobility History. We want to cover migration across time and space and speak with colleagues across disciplines. If you're interested in attending/presenting, get in touch: www.history.ac.uk/news-events/...

We’ve launched a new collection of openly accessible videos, Interviews with Historians, in which prominent 20th century historians reflect on their lives and professional practices. Access the collection here:

Get your wonderful MA students to apply for this fully funded 4 year AHRC DTP PhD on new labour and childcare supervised by me and @jessamycarlson.bsky.social! www.swansea.ac.uk/postgraduate...

Had an absolutely lovely time at this on Friday. Do check out the fully open access book - I have a chapter on the experiential expertise of the post 1960 youth worker.

Wonderful to have our own #LSBU colleague @cclements29.bsky.social giving a paper on youth work & experiential expertise, drawn from her chapter for #EverydayWelfare edited collection that we launch here today at our symposium. 🥳

All ready to go here at #LSBU for our #EverydayWelfare symposium & book launch. Grateful to support of our 2 fab Social Sciences Level 5 students who are doing work experience with me this semester 😊.

Super excited to share the cover of this forthcoming open access book, Everyday Welfare in Modern British History. I have a chapter in it on telephone helplines from the 1960s, building conceptually from the workshops for this book & spending time in 2022 at the HEX Centre in Tampere, Finland.

The election was announced 24 hours ago and the Labour Party have already sent at least three emails asking me for money. Kind of think that frequency of ask is not on. If it was a charity, you could report them to the fundraising regulator for stuff like this. #votewinner

I haven't said "hi" on this sparkly new (to me) platform yet.

But I saw that "sicknote culture" speech and went into rage-rant mode and checked here to see where people were at.

So I guess that means "hi" and WTAF? Where's the collective eye rolling of all the welfare historians happening today?
