Happy #InternationalWomensDay!
Women didn't work maintaining Britain's railways until World War 2, right?

Good morning, Mike.
All these new technologies can be great, but they need to be used mindfully.
Looking forward to working with @uophistory.bsky.social on this project to collect memories of fans 1999-2023. PHS members should be receiving details about how to potentially get involved soon. You can join PHS here: membermojo.co.uk/pompeyhistory

Our fantastic students, Rowan, Sofia and Mia, introducing their project to members of @pompeyhistory.bsky.social
Lots of great work going on which benefits our students, our partner organisations, the university, and us as a History team. All part of the civic university mission!
Blog post by me on a manuscript book I found during my Folger fellowship this summer. I was interested in what it had to say about widowhood and remarriage but it also took me down a recusant book history rabbit hole!
And this evening, students working with @pompeyhistory.bsky.social will be heading to Fratton Park with @robtjames.bsky.social to talk about their project. Exciting times
NEW HISTORY BLOG POST
Why do a history degree when you can just ask AI what happened? This is a question we are often asked at Open Days. Our own Dr Jodi Burkett has the answers!

Really good student discussion in today's 'Age of Crisis' seminar about the ways people's behaviour was controlled (and how people resisted that control) in C20th Europe. The students loved this brilliant article by @kte75.bsky.social on local film censorship
