A Queer Scrapbook (@manchesterup.bsky.social) is a tremendous achievement: fun and informative, perfect for teaching in schools and universities. I'm delighted to be included, alongside this fabulous cover of Oxford student mag Isis from May 1973.

This is a wonderful resource for teaching and also really fun to browse as a general reader - would highly recommend especially to those (historians and not) who are newer to this material! It has never been easier to include queer & trans perspectives in your teaching of modern British history!
Thanks, Sam, for all your support! Will be lovely to see you!

A really great pre-review of our soon-to-be-published Queer Scrapbook: Britain and Ireland since 1945. This reviewer really got the point of the book. :)

A scan of a yellow flyer advertising the National Lesbian and Gay Survey. It has a collage of different photographs of people and in the middle it reads 'so who will write the lesbian and gay history of the nineties..?' the bottom of the flyer has further information about how to take part.
In 1982, inspired by the work of MO the National Lesbian and Gay survey began, it sought to capture what everyday life was like for queer people living in the UK. For our latest open call we're continuing the work of NLGS and asking what does it mean to be queer every day?

Fun to be quoted in Cosmopolitan about the newest iteration of so-called 'lavender marriages'. As in the past, even this TikTok phenomenon reveals that looking at precarity, economic security and pragmatism are all important for understanding what's going on.
