‘Teenage Intimacies’ is now officially out in the world! It’s a history of teenage sexuality in postwar England that speaks to ideas of growing up, adolescence, friendship, family, identity, culture and education. It’s been a long time coming but I’m really proud of the end result! 🗃️ #histsex

I have a new article in @historyworkshop.org.uk that explores the resourcing of feminist activism in the 1970s. Come for the rants about typing, stay for the study of jumble sales as feminist praxis! 🗃️

Yep. In fact, the real failing of students was when we stopped requiring them to regularly search a library catalogue for their reading and instead produced lists with hyperlinks that students simply had to click. As soon as they have to go off list, they’re lost.

"More alignment between university and national attitudes. This includes a legitimacy observatory to track public trust and gaps between university culture and wider public attitudes."

This reads ominously, another way of stifling academic freedom to address injustices & uncomfortable truths.

I'm one of many professors quoted in this report from Alice Speri. I really appreciate The Guardian taking an angle which has basically eluded every other major outlet.

Final lecture online - www.history.ox.ac.uk/event/self-vs.-society - on all the concepts stacking up in the late 20th century, not superseded by ‘neoliberal’ or economic ones. Feedback welcome for the book now in progress. And farewell with warm thanks to all in Oxford.

Missed this 3 days ago, but we're thrilled this is out.

@ruthahnert.bsky.social @danielwilson.bsky.social & I wrote this after 6 years of collaboration + discussions about
- what "data" and "digitization" mean [in History]
- what we need to do to ensure data is findable & accessible

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition,

The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance

Iconic imo

If you are in Oxford next Tuesday and histories of ageing, work, race and migration are your thing, do come to my paper: Grey Escape: Britons Retiring Overseas, c. 1980-2010. It may make you think twice about chasing the sun in your sixties... Details here: talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/90a070fb-a683-4f13-856b-c8a9997746a9/
