The Society is very pleased to welcome 234 new Fellows, Associate Fellows, Members and Postgraduate Members who join @royalhistsoc.org after the latest meeting of the RHS Council bit.ly/48Nd30f
Our new Fellows and Members practice history across many professions and as independent researchers 1/2
Sorry why is “economics” deemed “career related” in comparison to history?? Both of these topics have direct careers that follow from their study, and both send students into a wide range of future jobs (how many economics graduates become economists, exactly?)
Second World War > World War II > the Guardian's insistence on using all lower-case and writing it as "second world war" 😤

New blog post by Will Sanders on 'Aerial Threat and the City'
Sanders discusses his doctoral research on aerial warfare during the Second World War, the importance of #UrbanHistory approaches, and the work of the Lviv Center for Urban History in documenting the invasion of Ukraine
For folks who'd like to read the thesis, you can find it available open access here: kar.kent.ac.uk/109402/
Would love to hear more thoughts on it as I start to think about publishing plans, so if you read it and like it (or don't!) then do drop me a line! 🥳
Now that the thesis is free for anyone to read, it feels like a good time to do a little update and say I passed my viva last month! Feeling extremely chuffed to be #PhDone, and even more grateful for all the lovely people who helped me get there ✨
Huge congratulations, Elena!! Hope you've had lots of celebrations! X
