Sad to hear of the sudden passing of a scholar who contributed so much to the study of America.
I’ve never seen a Victorian organisation run a ‘Father’s Club’ before. But, St Hilda’s East did because lots of ‘quiet middle-aged…rather tired men’ were not being served by the too active men’s clubs. Instead, they invited Shoreditch’s older men to sing a few songs in their garden. Strangely, cute.
Ok, to take a break from D-Day revisionism from left/right: what are the best ‘things people know about it that aren’t actually true/are greatly oversimplified?’
1) ‘Omaha was a bloodbath’ (some parts were; others went fine).
2) ‘The US Paras all landed in the wrong place’ (exaggerated).
Good job for someone at the University of Leeds - a two-year Teaching Fellow in Modern European History, leaning towards post-1945 Soviet Union and Eastern Europe
We also have cats! Well, Reader in Victorian History @luciejones83.bsky.social has lovely cats.
Our very own Professor @jamescrossland.bsky.social discussing the "Gentleman Pirate" Stede Bonnet (who some of you may recognise from the comedy series Our Flag Means Death) with @lhistorienne.bsky.social.
We're back! After lying fallow for a few months, the @ljmuhistory.bsky.social account is back up and running! We'll be talking much more about all the exciting research, public engagement, and events happening in our lively little department.
