It's release day! Feeling really excited to hold my first publication from my PhD in my hand!

I had such a blast contributing to this book and I can't wait to read the other chapters on such a great range of topics!

[Danielle La Scala-Lewins @DanielleaScala]

Great day on Monday at the @socialhistsoc conference in Durham! Talks on the High Street transformed accompanied by sunny castle views.

@DMUHistory @Midlands4Cities @profpanayi @UoLSBC Fantastic news! Many, many congratulations Jessica.

[Panikos Panayi @profpanayi]

Just received paperback edition from @OUPHistory of 'Enemies in the Empire' which I co-authored with @StefanManz2 with research support from @HenkelStiftung

[Danielle La Scala-Lewins @DanielleaScala]

@museumjack Yes! On the exchange of business practices and products between US and UK supermarkets during the 1970s-1980s.

[Danielle La Scala-Lewins @DanielleaScala]

Kicking off day 1 of the Business History Conference with some creative sessions on careers & publishing.

Anyone interested in food and/or advertising history? Feel free to message - I'd love to chat! #BHC2024

[Danielle La Scala-Lewins @DanielleaScala]

What practices and knowledge did US and UK supermarkets exchange in the late 20th C? How did this change the way we shop – and eat – today?

I’ll explore this via trade literature, ephemera, and company records tomorrow at #BHC2024, ‘Technology Emergence and Transfer’, 9.45am.

[Danielle La Scala-Lewins @DanielleaScala]

@czed1970 @amhistorymuseum @ahrcpress Absolutely! Thanks, Chris.

[Danielle La Scala-Lewins @DanielleaScala]

Today I eagerly embark on a three-month Fellowship at the Smithsonian's @amhistorymuseum in Washington, D.C. This research, funded by @ahrcpress, will enable me to study 19c/20c business records, advertisements, product cookbooks, ephemera and scores more rich American resources!

[Danielle La Scala-Lewins @DanielleaScala]

@museumjack @amhistorymuseum @ahrcpress Thanks Jack. Judging from how day 1 went already, I think I will.

[Danielle La Scala-Lewins @DanielleaScala]

@dilemma444 @amhistorymuseum @ahrcpress Thanks Emma! ☺️

[Danielle La Scala-Lewins @DanielleaScala]

@Serena_Dyer @amhistorymuseum @ahrcpress Thank you, Serena!

[Danielle La Scala-Lewins @DanielleaScala]

I am always grateful to my supervisor, @profpanayi, and co-supervisor, @manassas17 for their prevailing support in helping me navigate both my PhD and, now simultaneously, this incredible opportunity in the heart of so many museums & historical materials.
