Delighted to receive my copy of this amazing book today. When @PuffinBooks asked @H_Randall137 and I to advise on the complex histories of two sisters during the #Holocaust, we jumped at the opportunity. Thanks to author Jeremy Dronfield and editor Tom Rawlinson! Incredible work!

Our fantastic team is doing amazing research alongside indigenous sailors in the Marshall Islands about wave-piloting. Sharing as it's fascinating: https://t.co/bwboxYYwRE @StirUni #navigation #research #waves #wayfinding

Don’t miss two powerful #lectures at @StirUni, 15–16 April hosted by @SciPlaceMemory
📌 Prof. Nick Evans on #monuments & ‘witness trees’ in Papua New Guinea
📌 Prof. Maria Tumarkin on raw, moving #artistic responses to #trauma. Brilliant minds. Urgent topics. All welcome.

[Dr Chelsea Sambells @DrSambells]

Enjoying the first few chapters - a recent birthday gift from my man. RJ Evans’ latest, great effort to uncover the men and women behind the #ThirdReich, bringing their personalities to the surface. Always a challenge for #historians, but so insightful when done well. Recommend!

This morning’s glorious view walking across campus at the new job. Not much beats Scottish landscapes in peak autumn. @StirUni

What an outstanding resource to better understand the devastating choices so many mothers had to make to survive. I can’t wait to read the research that comes out of this new database: Echoes of Care: The Living History of Coram and the Foundling Hospital https://t.co/ggVKnx6Rth

Just submitted my first full draft of my manuscript to my editor. Years of archives, documents, interviews, editing (… and blood, sweat and tears). Still needs to be reviewed and edited, but the first big hurdle is done.

Today is a GREAT day.

One of the many unspoken skeletons of Canada’s collective history. Glad to see this discovery brings more attention to children’s exploitation in the past. #histchild #canada

Foreign born mother here. From Canada, a nation which prides itself on its multiculturalism, not assimilation. Britain too is multicultural and I’m proud to be part of it. But def not proud of the Tories giving a platform to this ignorant, xenophobic, surprisingly stupid woman.

[Hugo Rifkind @hugorifkind]

Remarkable to hear Braverman say multiculturalism has failed. She's a British Home Secretary descended from Goan Indians from Mauritius and Kenya, married to a Jewish husband, in a government headed by Britain's first Hindu PM. What would successful multiculturalism look like?
