The problem with doing new stuff is that you need to remember where all the bios are and how to update them. Anyway, exciting development!

Looking forward to a weekend in Gloucester!Trains permitting, I’ll have time to see Duke Robert and think about the role of space in the case of Harold of Gloucester. Just as importantly, sampling the delights of Glouc pubs! Might even talk a bit of history if there’s time…

End of an era! The History Weekends were a great force for good, built community, and generated funds for postgraduate students. Entirely consistent with CCCU’s attitude towards research, knowledge exchange, community, and support for postgraduate students.

Up bright and (hideously) early to head to Liverpool for the Historical Assoc annual conference! Looking forward to talking about Jews and Christians as neighbours! I do have strong thoughts about to decision to go to the conference from Berlin as opposed to my home 20 miles away…

One of the 9. The reference to a Canterbury cemetery doesn’t hold up to scrutiny. Cf my forthcoming ā€˜The Jews of Medieval Canterbury’

Slight tweak to the title: "Historian soon to be made redundant by Canterbury Christ Church University recognised institutionally and nationally". Corporate comms are apparently the priority for CCCU Arts, Humanities & Education #priorities blogs.canterbury.ac.uk/kenthistory/ck…
