My natural state is most definitely not in front of a camera, and yet I managed to really enjoy making this video project with Peter Prestel. Huge thanks to @HenkelStiftung for supporting both the research and the video series : https://t.co/BC93E0Iv2u

Great to see colleagues developing the relationship between school and uni: @ludivine_broch & Daniel Gordon recorded the French Talk podcast following their French, History and You outreach event (funded by ASMCF & @FrenchHistoryUK) earlier this year:

Just come across this new podcast series from @JamesStaples66 and @LAHeslop that weaves together colonial and migration scholarship with interviews with South Asian restaurateurs and food history. Well worth listening to (and not just because it refers to Ruling the World, honest!) Good way of getting free meals too?
