Session II today covers transatlantic bodies, military bodies, performing bodies, inscribed bodies AND a workshop on ‘creative journalling and self-care practices for the purposeful researcher’ run by the winner of #BSECS2024 President’s Prize @emmamitchell #BSECS2025
Have had great first day at #bsecs2024 @bsecs.bsky.social including presenting on bodies in imagined afterlives. Uttered words at one point 'I sort of wish I'd never started reading this enormous crazy book but I did & it has such great stuff in it & now I guess I'm writing about it.'Thanks Rêtif.

Some of you might remember Emma Mitchell's @BrunelWriter intellectually & olfactorily stimulating paper at #BSECS2024. Many of you enjoyed it so much, you voted it #BestPostgraduatePaper and so she has been awarded our President's Prize #twitterstorians #18thC 🗃️
@jarona7.bsky.social @fancyhistorian.bsky.social Got home to find this in the mail, if only it had arrived before #BSECS2024 🤦♂️

Many thanks to the programme committee and organizers, and to the @bsecs.bsky.social executive and president @brycchancarey.bsky.social for a fantastic #BSECS2024!

I had a great time at #BSECS2024 and heard some very lovely papers, there's much of interest coming up, and good space was opened up in roundtable to discuss threats and challenges to the profession too. I'll definitely be back.
It feels like there should be a joke here about a room full of eighteenth-centuryists but after two days of incredible papers & exciting conversations, we can't think of it. Glorious food and meeting friends old and new at the #BSECS2024 conference dinner #18thC
Exhibition stand featuring the latest books from our University Presses at BSECS 2024
Less than a week into 2024 & we're already out of the office at the #BSECS2024 conference
Only exhibiting today but all titles & more can be found: www.combinedacademic.co.uk/bsecs-2024/
