@emjlynajsh.bsky.social and I are delighted to be running this conference on EM practical texts, generously supported by @themhra.bsky.social, and with fabulous keynotes by @endeeekay.bsky.social and Laurence Publicover. Abstracts due by 24th November!

V pleased to be involved with the exciting new @ihr.bsky.social seminar on Migration & Mobility History, led by the excellent @kabcommons.bsky.social

We have some really exciting plans coming up: a space to think more thoroughly about the intersection between migration studies and history: can migration studies help historians theorise migration history better? Can history help recover regimes of control and exclusion over the long (long) term?

take me there plz
