If you're in Edinburgh or planning to visit in August, come to my show "Hookers for Jesus". I'll be talking about prostitution, charity, Magdalene Asylums and faith! It's a small venue so places are limited. #FringeFestival #Edinburgh #History @edfringe

Thank you ⁦@HCAatEdinburgh⁩ for hosting a really interesting lecture by prof Breathnach! It was fascinating to hear about photos as a historical source material!

[Jowita A. Thor @DrJAThor]

I hadn’t known that an interview about a book could be inspiring until I heard Dr Sollereder and Prof Williams discussing ‘When Courage Calls’. I left buzzing with enthusiasm and hope. Can’t wait to read the book! ⁦@uoedivinity⁩

My @ESRC Fellowship at @lawstrath has sadly come to an end, but the opportunities I gained certainly haven’t. A huge thank you to my admin and academic colleagues and @SocSciScotland for making me feel welcome and ensuring a productive and eventful year!

Visiting #Corstorphine Heritage Trust Archives was a moving and fascinating experience. The passion of the volunteers and the wealth of ‘hidden’ resources they have was incredible! I loved seeing photos of people and places I’ve been researching for many years #LocalHistory

[Jowita A. Thor @DrJAThor]

It was lovely to visit ⁦@uoedivinity⁩ last week to hear the story (and history) behind the Mary of Guise plaque. Prof Jane Dawson’s lecture was an extra treat - it reminded me of my undergraduate years!

[Jowita A. Thor @DrJAThor]

Thank you @SalvArmyArchive for all your help during my visit. It was one of my favourite archival visits in my career! I look forward to going through my photos and turning my findings into an article 📖

[Jowita A. Thor @DrJAThor]

So my @EndNoteNews just deleted my whole library for a lol. Days before a deadline 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️
(fortunately had a back from a few weeks ago).

[Jowita A. Thor @DrJAThor]

You’ll be surprised to hear that… I miss People&Money. It can be worse 😂

[Jowita A. Thor @DrJAThor]

@rosie_michael @LauraMMair I don’t think I can review it since I’ve contributed a chapter there 😂 otherwise I would!

[Jowita A. Thor @DrJAThor]

I look forward to getting a copy of 'Social Christianity in Scotland and Beyond' and reading everyone's contributions! Thank you @LauraMMair and Andrew Kloes for your fantastic work! https://t.co/uogycwnTc3
