Happy to say I'm now an associate editor for @the-polyphony.bsky.social. I'm particularly interested in pitches on the intersections between health and the built environment, but would love to hear from anyone who wants to write about their #medhums work! More info: thepolyphony.org/get-involved/
Thrilled to say that I passed my viva last week! Thank you to my examiners @tomhulme.bsky.social and Keir Waddington for such an enjoyable and constructive conversation, and to my brilliant supervisors @erikahanna.bsky.social and Tom Allbeson
Really excited to present with the brilliant James Thompson and @michellehenning.bsky.social tomorrow at the @qmcbs.bsky.social conference. Details of panel below:
Woops yes meant 1936. I read your brilliant article in London Journal - was v useful. Will revisit Re-forming Britain!
Europe Rehoused is a good shout, thank you! And will see if LTM has a higher res copy...
@osaumarezsmith.bsky.social ?
Bluesky architectural historians! Can anyone help? I'm trying to identify some of the modernist buildings in the photographs pinned on the wall in this image. Context: this is the New Homes for Old exhibition held in 1935 by the Housing Centre in London. it's grainy but you can zoom in a bit!
this elaborate photo-story was published in the Illustrated London News in 1905 and shows Port Sunlight in Merseyside, the 'workers' utopia'!
A little insight into my PhD research today: I'm thinking about visual representations of model factory villages in the early 20th-century illustrated press... and how they might operate as a form of visual rhetoric for a quasi-welfare state funded by private capital
Great, thank you!
Hello! I emailed but haven't heard back - is it possible to provide details of the conference ticket prices? Thanks!
My debut article, the outcome of a 3-month research project in Canada, is out! It's about the 1901 royal tour of Canada and the limits of locating 'agency' in colonial photographic collections

I'm always looking to connect with other historians working on visual culture & urban history - if you're out there get in touch! I look particularly at photography and the picturing of healthy/unhealthy spaces in the city in early 20th-century Britain
