While we’re on the subject of websites, we’re looking to rebuild ours. Can anyone recommend a website developer/builder for us to work with? We’d particularly love to support someone who’s lost work or facing is tough times due to Covid.

Our videos are now on the @stuffofwar website - alongside some more amazing stuff on the cultural & material histories of war! (https://t.co/D9W3CpgboP)

It’s been a week now since we had our live Q&A (thank you all again for the brilliant discussion!) but the videos of the papers are all still watchable here! https://t.co/reXjnPixNj

We’d love to hear what you thought about them! Which is closest to your own research/work?

[Dr Matilda Greig @matilda_greig]

Grinning like a fool leaving the office this evening - feel so incredibly inspired & humbled by the discussions @wwrg_/@stuffofwar today. Will without a doubt shape my own research and thinking going forward. Thank you so much everyone who took part!

[Dr Emma Butcher @EmmaButcher_]

Loved loved loved @wwrg_ today. A real sense of the tides turning in military scholarship - that women’s and non-binary war histories should no longer be considered an ‘alternate’ history, but just part of History with a big capital H. #WWRG20

[Louise Bell @LouBell]

I have loved @wwrg_ so much! Big congratulations to all of the presenters and @matilda_greig for everything! And to @stuffofwar for helping with the chairing. I’ve had a great afternoon, and loved being able to watch the presentations in my own time, too! #WWRG20

Early on in Warrior Women & Rebel Girls #wwrg20 there was a mention of differently gendered uniform/appearance standards in modern military. So just as an aside, the US Air Force is currently asking members to suggest changes to official policy:
