We are BEYOND excited to share the results of our conference presentation prizes. Thanks to generous support from @WomensHistNet we have been able to award book tokens to the winner and runner-up from each day of #PowerAndPatriarchy⬇️

[Dr Katie Crowther @_katie_crowther]

So grateful to receive the runner-up prize for the paper I gave as part of @PowerPatriarchy back in January🤩

On a personal note - I’m forever a worrier about public speaking so this really means a lot💛 Thank you again @PowerPatriarchy!

[Hannah Cusworth- is away for a bit @hannahcusworth]

I won a prize! 🏆

This was my first academic conference paper & I was anxious it wasn’t “academic” enough but I got some lovely comments about the quality of research & how it shifted attendees’ thinking on women & empire.

Thanks so much to @PowerPatriarchy for organising 🥰

[Power & Patriarchy @PowerPatriarchy]

Thank you to @WomensHistNet for their support with our conference! Congratulations again to the four speakers who won presentation prizes. Keep your eyes peeled for more #PowerAndPatriarchy news as we continue to build our network. 👀

@B_Su is our Day 2 runner up. We were lucky enough to watch a screening of Babar's short film 'HOW PERFECT IS THIS HOW BLESSED ARE WE'. One attendee commented that it was a 'wonderful, poetically poignant presentation'. 🎉👏 #PowerAndPatriarchy

[Dr Freya Gowrley @Freya_Gowrley]

Look what arrived!! (And are you even an author if you don’t take a selfie holding your book??)

[Power & Patriarchy @PowerPatriarchy]

@Freya_Gowrley We hope to make recordings of Freya's keynote and the rest of the panels available next week! #PowerAndPatriarchy 🤞

[Power & Patriarchy @PowerPatriarchy]

We are THRILLED to share a 35% discount for @Freya_Gowrley's forthcoming monograph Domestic Space in Britain, 1750-1840: Materiality, Sociability and Emotion. Freya's keynote at #PowerAndPatriarchy was GREAT and we can't wait to get our hands on a copy of the book!
