#TypicalHistorian
#TypicalHistorian going to my first symposium as I zip across the country between my university and partner institution

(late to this trend because I was having my biannual crisis about whether I’m a historian or a literary scholar. have now settled on literary historian. does that count??)

I am, indeed, a #TypicalHistorian at all times.

Ok I'lll bite.

While my main discipline is EngLit, my current museum edu/outreach role means I'm also a Public Historian.

Here I am just after giving a talk on medieval women to visitors. Should have ironed my shirt & added a tie in case @bbcnews came knocking looking for a #typicalhistorian

I'm loving all your #TypicalHistorian posts and photos, following the BBC's slight mis-step yesterday... Keep them coming - let's show the world we're quite an eclectic bunch, really. 😊 There are so many different ways to be a #historian and do #history.

'covered in yellow feathers with a long beak and eyes that exude a sadness that is at once manic and languid, Big Bird looks every bit the typical historian'

But maybe this one is even more #TypicalHistorian? (The photo was taken at Battle Abbey museum.)

Just a #TypicalHistorian, enjoying a cool glass of medieval-inspired ale, brewed to celebrate the launch of the St Thomas Way.

An oldie, but familiar to @cathamclarke.bsky.social

#TypicalHistorian. So typical that the BBC couldn’t get my job title, title, or even my surname correct.

This is what a #TypicalHistorian looks like. Pass it on.

Reposting with the tag #TypicalHistorian as apparently we're all middle aged men in tweed and dicky-bows or summat.
This is what a historian looks like...

Clearly we're all smoking hot.
