Enjoyed 800 years of North Shields music event last night! "A place that keeps singing quietly, proudly, even when noone is watching"

My Leverhulme Trust Research Fellowship on credit union histories started last week. The SLCU 2025 conference was the perfect place to start at the weekend! Some great workshops and lots of conversations to follow up on. Do get in touch if interested in the work!

Liverpool REM trip comes to a close. A great few days exploring the connections between race, racism and anti-racism in the city, with excellent guest speakers. Always nice to spend time with brilliant colleagues too - @jsclayton.bsky.social and Sarah Peck.

Historical Geographies students were on great form this morning - discussing all things archives and usable pasts. Their historical geography manifestos were great!

A return to Glasgow came at just the right time. A chance to share some ongoing work on unemployment, spatial politics, solidarity, etc. with old friends and meet a great HGRG community. Also an opportunity to continue ongoing credit union conversations. Sabbatical drawing to a close on a high!

Productive archive day. First time visit to the Co-operative Heritage Trust Archive in Manchester. Will certainly be back as we start to think about Mutual Aid Pasts.
