If this is you, and you are interested in the imprisonment of people awaiting execution in the nineteenth-century (my work looks at Wales), do get in touch.

Keen to explore media discourses at the time and how we tell these stories today.

My paper at the ‘Narratives of Captivity’ conference @northumbriauni.bsky.social looked at narratives of the condemned in the liminal space between death sentence & execution.

To develop this work, I'd really like to work with experts in heritage or corpus linguistics.

Thank you @eepwrites.bsky.social. It was a great panel and a wonderful conference.

Oh, don't! This is something that I have to tackle later this week. Hoping I don't run into (m)any tech/access issues 😅 Huge congrats on your success 😂😂

You can be a historian of anything. If you don't like the topics on offer in the national curriculum, it does not mean that history isn't for you.

Thank you, Tarini. I hope you are well
