Very interesting document from today's visit to Brotherton Cutural Collections: a translated (German-English) printed copy of a passport issued to a Protestant exile from Salzburg in 1731, included within a 1732 book containing several other translated documents related to the expulsion

This Monday! I'll be talking about how migrants seeking protection creatively use paperwork to make moral claims to rights - in Britain today and 16thC England. Does a lack of rights limit the impact of paperwork? And how can we use of paperwork recentre migrants in histories of protection?

Finding out that (shockingly) the knowledge I gained from writing a PhD thesis on seventeenth-century identification documents does not in fact transfer to attempting to navigate the unnecessarily complex process of trying to update a UK passport when you're a dual national in 2025

Finally got around to making an account on here! Mainly as a scheme to distract myself from the marking I really should be focusing on this afternoon, but also definitely looking forward to being able to keep up with academic stuff without having to deal with Xwitter in its current state
