If the resource list says I am an academic, then it must be true?

Myself and Dr Mara Oliva are organising a roundtable for SHAFR Historians #SHAFR2023 on non-state actors responses to foreign policy developments. We are looking for one more contributor. Message on here or email [email protected] if you'd like to join us!

As excited I am to be giving a talk based on my book, this is the first in a series of talks we're running as part of the new American Studies Research Group! If that's not enough of an incentive, 26 Oct is my birthday. Please come along if you can!

And if you're not London based, the American Studies Research Group & Historians @ Bristol is hosting a hybrid in-person/online Zoom event next month on 16 Nov 15.00-16.00 GMT. I'll be discussing my book w/Mark Hailwood followed by Q&A. Details here 👉 eventbrite.co.uk/e/asrg-present…

Thank you for having me and thanks also to Oliver for his thought-provoking insights! It was a pleasure (and privilege) to revisit and reflect on my book project!
