@adacable @JackRaoul Sorry not to get to this in time Ada and to send the link in the most unhelpful way. Just about to share the link properly for the next session and a link to the recordings of the first two talks if you had to miss it. Sorry!

Congrats to our team member @matilda_greig on this excellent review of her new book!

[Strange Meetings: Enemy Encounters 1800-2020 @EnemyEncounters]

Heartfelt thanks once again to everyone who joined us online for the #EnemyEncounters conference a few weeks ago. On the last day we asked the audience to suggest keywords emerging from the papers & discussions: here's the food for thought! Wishing you all a lovely summer break.

[Dr Matilda Greig @matilda_greig]

We had an audience of 153 at the @EnemyEncounters conference this week - plus one Very Good Boy. 🐶

[Dr Julia Ribeiro Thomaz @juliarsct]

so refreshing to see conference organisers being candid and emotional about how hard it is to pull an event off, and especially in this context. We should normalise these emotional reactions, and this is definitely one thing I'm taking away from @EnemyEncounters

[Strange Meetings: Enemy Encounters 1800-2020 @EnemyEncounters]

@Railok No need at all to feel embarrassed! These things are bound to happen with an online format :)

[Dr Catherine Bateson @catbateson]

Great end to an engaging conference! Very inspired by different approaches to how we think about war encounters/fraternization moments. Congrats to @FurneauxHolly & @matilda_greig for hosting a brilliant event! And thanks to Hannah Wills @I_W_M for excellent tech support!👏

[Niels Boender @NielsBoender]

Thanks so much for all the speakers and organisers of @EnemyEncounters. A fantastic 3 day conference that has opened up so many ways of looking critically at conflict and cross-cultural encounters. Looking forward to seeing what else the project will produce.

[Dr Julia Ribeiro Thomaz @juliarsct]

@teaandnerdery @historial1418 you should be able to see the recording on the @EnemyEncounters crowdcast. The whole conference was brilliant and @matilda_greig and @FurneauxHolly are closing it with some very promissing remarks - I'd binge-watch the lot if I were you!
