It's spooky time!
Elizabeth and I cannot wait to read all the fantastic abstracts!

I've had my first meetings with my new Master's students this week, and it's so nice to hear their motivations for their research projects!
It's really helping me get through the last stretch of my PhD
A photo of a grey cat sleeping on a pink duvet, with a rainbow prism hitting him right on the cheek, looking like rainbow face paint. Behind him there are some rainbows on the wall as well.
He's ready for pride month :')

Travelling to Liverpool for my final ever PGR conference! Theses conferences are always a great opportunity to see the variety of research done in the history department (and an opportunity to socialise!)
