Magic to see Max ‘better than the bible’ Porter speak with Dutch translator Saskia van der Lingen for the ‘Translated by, Bristol’ festival this evening. Mad to find out he’s a fellow High Wycombe escapee.

Don't forget to submit your paper for our 2nd event on 'Rethinking Internationalism' - we're looking for papers/panel proposals focused on methods and new ways of writing history. Perfect if you've been trying to figure out how to push beyond (or find new ways of approaching) the 'official' archive!

Heading back home from a flying visit to Cambridge to comment on a chapter for @lydiawalker.bsky.social’s fascinating new book project on post-SWW interventions ☺️ Also managed to squeeze in a visit to the brilliant ‘Rise Up’ exhibition at the Fitzwilliam Museum - definitely worth a visit ✊🪧
