Wonderfully astute piece on historical inquiry in academia and otherwise by our student @ManharBansal21 Do read!

[Atreyee Majumder @twitatreyee]

@vishnupad1 (History) must shun the hegemonic and homogenising forces of mainstream imagination and use oral tradition, collective memory, poetry, literature and fiction –alternative sources I broadly call ‘fantasy’ –to reimagine our multiform pasts.

I'm teaching this excerpt to my students this week. What a lucid elaboration on kingdoms, empires, sovereignty, population, nation state, and our conception of historical pasts. https://t.co/xSTtp5QYAD

Haven't had a day like yesterday - trying to get dad a bed/oxygen/tests, etc taught me so much about the situation that just volunteering/amplifying didn't

There are certain lessons and tricks to this tragedy.

On the subject of haikus, the poet John Cooper Clarke is reported to have said:

To convey one’s mood
in seventeen syllables
is very diffic.

If you are suddenly facing Christmas alone, I have tips. I LOVE Christmas alone so get on board.

Food: What would you ideally like to eat if no-one could limit you or judge you? Nothing but pigs in blankets? Just cake? Pot Noodle? Get that! I’m having cheese and crackers.

[Centre C19th Studies @DurhamCNCS]

Great start to #CNCSPG2020 this morning with our first panel on 'Explorations of Empire'. We discussed a wonderful range of topics from close reading of emotions in texts, their value as time capsules and how museum collections can reclaim agency through continuous research.

[Nitya Gundu @nityagundu]

Thank you very much for having me @DurhamCNCS! It was a wonderful experience! I thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the panel as well!

Back at #CNCSPG2020 for the panel Explorations of Empire. Great first paper by Nitya Gundu on Fanny Parkes' writings on colonial India, which argues that we can analyse her work beyond the orientalist narrative.
