@CatGQFreeman Well done - so pleased you finally heard!

Hooray! Finally, the email from university saying my PhD has been ratified has arrived! No more waiting, feeling lost in a well of administration.

@DeirdreRaftery @ElenaFranRossi A really excellent conference

It has been a very long time in the making, but I have pressed send on the final manuscript for Growing Up and Going Out. It's a book about youth culture, leisure, and the remaking of the post-war city. Coming to a library shelf near you soon!

Excellent news!!!

Looking forward to this - echoes of 1950s career novel Pan Stevens secretary @NancyRosoff

@kateweikert Nice!

SQUEEEEEE

@CatGQFreeman Well done !!

This sticker from the chair seems very appropriate after passing a viva with minor corrections in #histed Thank you @chwess & Prof Andrew King for your thoughtful grilling.

And here it is.... Feminist Lives: Women, Feelings and the Self in Post-War Britain. Thanks to @OUPHistory @OUPAcademic and the community of friends who helped to make it happen including @UofGGenderHist @UofGHumanities and all the women who generously shared their stories.

@Lynncabrams @OUPHistory @OUPAcademic @UofGGenderHist @UofGHumanities This looks terrific! Look forward to reading it - congratulations!

Only one week left to apply for this job! The University of London are hiring a researcher to work with the university archives and produce readable, public-facing history material. Deadline: 28th August 2023 jobs.london.ac.uk/Job/JobDetail?…

@CatGQFreeman Ah but once they’ve read it they will understand!

Sometimes in the library, I really should say nothing. Customer: I’m looking for Tomorrow &Tomorrow &Tomorrow. Me: Steps in this petty pace from time to time. Customer looks bemused &scared. Me: It’s from Macbeth but not related to that book. Not well received…oops

Our Peter Gosden Fellow (@ElenaFranRossi) is organising a conference all about the experience of women in worlds of learning with a fantastic team of PhD students! A great opportunity for #histed scholars, including a #PGR poster session. Deadline: 1st September 2023

@Fabio_Pruneri So sorry not to be joining you

A green start at the 44th Ische conference in Budapest #ische44, #histed

@caitbeaumont @MaryMcAuliffe4 That is also my experience as well as identity crisis - am I a historian or an educationist????

Seconding that @MaryMcAuliffe4. Working outside of a History Department for 25 years has meant I relied/rely significantly on conferences & networks & twitter to make connections to support my research & meet fab 'history' people 😊.

@sharon_l_smith All good - back at UoW today to do keynote for postgrad conference - such interesting new projects underway - keep going

@chwess Thank you Steph - I will always credit UoW and the amazing Education Studies team for getting me where I am today… and am grateful to you personally too for the chats we had about what I might go on to do! I hope you are well 😀

Over the past few weeks I have been having a PhD wobble - lost all my confidence 😭 - but thanks to people I have reached out to who have been amazing, I am finding my way back 👊 You need supportive people around you when you’re doing a PhD for sure! Thank you all 👍

We are looking forward to hearing it! @faithful_sue
