The FEATHERS conference in Leiden last week was absolutely fantastic, full of excellent papers and truly interdisciplinary conversation. Thank you to the FEATHERS team for organising, and for giving me the opportunity to participate!
On a related note, I am very excited (and grateful) for the award of a David Berry Fellowship in the History of Scotland and the Scottish People, which will allow me to pursue some research on a new project on ‘Remembering Rights of Way in Early Modern Britain’!

I was so pleased to learn of my election as an Associate Fellow of @royalhistsoc.org, continuing my membership beyond my PhD.
Seconding all of this - thank you to the @socialhistsoc.bsky.social for the opportunity to present some of my new research, and to everyone who stayed to attend our panel as the very last session of the conference!
A week late but (still) reflecting on a wonderful 3 days at my first @socialhistsoc.bsky.social conference. So much fascinating social history research, provoking conversations across time periods/topics, with setting of @bclivingmuseum.bsky.social as an added bonus #SHSConf2025
