Helia I López Zarzosa and Chelsey Dyer!
Really enjoyed presenting my research paper, "The Quintessential Key to Changing the World': Guerilla Warfare and the British New Left's Anti-Imperialist Imaginary', at @modbritstud.bsky.social conference at the University of Birmingham this afternoon. It's been such a wonderful, dynamic conference!
I'm really happy to have contributed something to the new Modern British Studies Association (@modbritstud.bsky.social) blog, Histories from Here, discussing the study of international solidarity movements & its relation to both 'British History' & 'Global History'
