We're deep in marking season so this feels like a remnant of another life, but my article, 'Sexual Violence and Military Justice in the Occupied South' is now available in the June issue of Civil War History: muse.jhu.edu/pub/14/artic...
Feels a bit absurd to be promoting this, but there's a 12 month 18/19th C American history post at Cardiff. Deadline 15.06.25. Feel free to msg or contact me via email - doddingtond@cardiff.ac.uk - for further information: krb-sjobs.brassring.com/TGnewUI/Sear...
This looks like a very useful event
14 May 1607: English colonists arrive at Jamestown. In my book The Virginia Venture @pennpress.bsky.social I explored the social history of this colonial project, from an English/transatlantic perspective involving women, the poor, children, institutions

Interesting thread on public history, Reddit, and gaming…Didn’t think I’d be putting together those three in a sentence today
Very pleased to be part of this project. Look out for more updates on 'American Imperialism in the Long Nineteenth Century' soon!
If you’re a UK-based US historian you should definitely consider putting in for this, especially if you’re PhD/ECR. BrANCH is such a welcoming conference for those starting out in academia, and this year it’s teaming up with BGEAH! What could be better???
We're thrilled to open the call for papers for the 2025 BrANCH Conference, to be held jointly with the British Group in Early American History (BGEAH). This year’s conference will be hosted in Cardiff, Wales on September 12-14, 2025! 🏴

Hi!
EXCEPTIONALISM IN CRISIS, by @alysbeverton.bsky.social. For many Americans in the 19thc, Mexico was regarded as the unstable, uncivilized, revolution-prone nation to the South - an example of what the US would never be. The Civil War made them revisit these assumptions. uncpress.org/book/9781469...
