Masquerade scene at the Argyll Rooms c1826 (from Lewis Walpole Library), depicts people in a range of costumes and dancing.
1/ Just back from #NACBS2023 where I shared new stuff on the Victorian masquerade! Though some scholarship says the masq disappeared, or even died, in the 1790s this was absolutely not the case. It shifted in tone, price, & location attracting a middle class audience.

I’ve been having a great #NACBS2023, learning about great new research, meeting colleagues from across the world, and talking about how British Studies scholars can advocate for history education. Not a bad view to kick off day two.
Exciting glimpses into projects that include cultural impact studies & sharing research at the local pub, a queer biography with BBC, and the workshop series itself, which taught scholars how to create / share knowledge in various modalities #NACBS2023
Fantastic roundtable with members of the writingclass.work group. Jessica Clark, Katie Hindmarch-Watson, & Mark Hailwood discussing how to write class, and how to engage with the public on questions and research into class. #NACBS2023 @thenacbs.bsky.social
Headed to Baltimore for #NACBS2023! I’m inexplicably in 3 panels, so …see you there?!
Baltimore is the place to be, especially for #NACBS2023: some of us on the day before the conference are coolly walking around taking in the sights, some of us have suavely sought out and discovered Baltimore's magnificent main public library (since we have essays to mark).
Historians assemble! I'm here in Baltimore and ready for the start of #NACBS2023! Gorgeously sunny walking around the harbour today. @thenacbs.bsky.social
Looking forward to the #nacbs2023 @thenacbs.bsky.social conference in Baltimore, especially for a round table on the contemporary history wars!
Pretty exciting.
‘Good morning Baltimore
Every day's like an open door
Every night is a fantasy
Every sound's like a symphony’
And Crab cakes. #nacbs2023!
We are two weeks away from #nacbs2023! The program and additional information are available on our conference page. We look forward to seeing everyone in Baltimore!
