Thank you to our @BAAS_pgs Rep Olivia Wright @Livswt and the organisers @LaurenEglen and @TimGalsworthy for the fantastic #BAASPGR19 conference, hosted by @BL_EcclesCentre. Thanks too to all the attendees who presented their work. An inspiring weekend!

And that’s a wrap! Thank you everybody for coming to the BAAS 2019 Postgraduate Conference. It’s been a fantastic few days filled with great presentations and discussions. I hope you all enjoyed attending as much as we enjoyed organising! #BAASPGR19

It’s time for the final parallel sessions of the conference. In the Brontë Room we have “Depicting the Cold War.” In the Chaucer Room it’s “Race and American Womanhood.” In the Eliot Room, “Music” #BAASPGR19

In the Knowledge Centre Theatre now we have our second breakout session. Staff from our hosts, the @britishlibrary, are talking about the @BL_EcclesCentre and @BL_Americas #BAASPGR19

In the Knowledge Centre Lecture Theatre now, @lucymoun1000 is delivering our keynote address: “New Media, [Mis]-Communication and [Mis]-Translation: Whose America Is It Anyway?” @BAASUSSO #BAASPGR19

After refuelling we have three more parallel sessions to choose from. In the Brontë Room we have “Black Protest at Home and Abroad.” In the Chaucer Room it’s “Technology and America.” In the Eliot Room, “Transnational Networks” #BAASPGR19

The technological issues have been fixed, therefore all panels scheduled to be in the Eliot Room will remain there. Thanks again for understanding #BAASPGR19

Due to technological issues, all papers scheduled to be in the Eliot Room will now be in the Dickens Room next door. Session 4 will now run 11-12:30. Lunch will be 12:30-13:15. We will then continue as scheduled. Thank you for your understanding #BAASPGR19

We apologise to everyone for the technological issues we are having this morning. We are doing everything we can to address them #BAASPGR19

🚨🚨🚨A reminder to all #BAASPGR19 attendees. Today you must enter the Knowledge Centre by Gate 5 on Midland Road (the side road between The British Library and St Pancras International station), rather than the main gate on Euston Road 🚨🚨🚨

We are heading over to Mabel’s Tavern on Mabledon Place for postgraduate drinks. Please come along for a chat and drink! #BAASPGR19 🍻🥂

Now for today’s second and final parallel sessions. In the Brontë Room we have “Art as Protest” and in the Eliot Room, “Narrating Protest, Identity and the Self” #BAASPGR19

In the Knowledge Centre Theatre now we have our first breakout session. @SineadExeter from @jnlamstudies and Pat Gordon-Smith from @UCLpress will be talking about academic publishing #BAASPGR19
