I really enjoyed being a part of last night's @ihrhistorylab.bsky.social seminar on Historians and the Archive! We talked a lot about archival accessibility, hidden histories, and emotion in the archive. I hope these are conversations we can continue! Thanks so much to everyone who came along! (1/2)

A belated post but I had a wonderful time in Cardiff for the @museumsassociation.org conference. Many thanks to the MA and their Inclusive Place scheme for the opportunity to attend, and to wonderful museums and heritage sector colleagues for making the conference so supportive!

It's the end of a brilliant second day at #SHSConf2025! It was such a treat to get to present my research on living history as an educational tool at @bclivingmuseum.bsky.social, and to work with Kate Hill, @natashaanson.bsky.social and Carys Tyson-Taylor to bring this panel together

I spent an inspiring few days in Lancaster for the 30th Anniversary of @l-h-p-c.bsky.social - thank you to everyone who came along to hear me speak on museum education in times of crisis, to all the incredible speakers, and to the conference organisers for doing such a wonderful job!

Did you work as a teacher, museum education professional, or another museum professional with educational responsibilities at any point prior to 2000?
