Last week my life changed forever and I couldn’t be happier. Welcome to the world baby 👶🏽 Decided to make a slightly dramatic early arrival but has been pretty chill ever since. Finally home after a long stay in hospital and loving settling into newborn life.

I know this isn’t an original thought but being at home, alone, with a baby under 10 weeks is just miserably hard. If you want more babies normalise partners being at home, paid, for the first 3 months.

Absolutely loving this book. Was skeptical at first, but fell in love with the amazing linocuts at the beginning of each chapter. Struck by many things, but mostly about just how much history there is & the connectivity between regions (both in & outside of the African continent)

This feels a bit mad but do any historians know of articles (or books) about the mechanics of archival work as a research method? In the Social Sciences there seem to be text book chapters about ethnography (for example) & I’m looking for something similar for archival work 👀

It's been a little bit sad teaching lessons that I remember felt really magical in the classroom last year, but feel like they haven't quite been as powerful over Google Meets.

Loving that my PhD also feels a bit like an apprenticeship sometimes. Learning bits about curatorial and conservation whenever I visit the houses. Turns out ceramics cleaning is incredibly calming.

Just found out that the @PenguinUKBooks #LitInColour application I made just before I left the school was successful 🥳 They had 1600 applications! Sad I won’t be there to see the books but glad to have contributed something to the school library on my way out!

Since it’s September, I’ve been reflecting on last academic year, my first as a PhD student and my first back at university since 2013.A 🧵 on some of the things I was worried about and how they turned out. Thought it might be useful for people starting this year.

I’ve been reflecting about my mental health quite a bit recently. It took a big beating last academic year but recently I have been so much lighter & less full of anxiety. I have the time & space to look after myself and that is bringing me a lot of joy 💖 #WorldMentalHealthDay

Have seen a few people tweeting about @OakNational This summer I worked on 3 enquiries. I've used them with our students since September, feedback has been pretty posi. Two of the enquiries are 4 lessons long, so could work well for the next 2 weeks of online learning 1/

Sorry if I’ve not replied to messages/emails recently. I’ve been rather unwell these past few weeks & was signed off work. I’m doing a lot better, but not 💯 back to normal just yet. 1/

A massive thank you to @Counsell_C and @EG_Carr for making my article a reality. I came so close to pulling out and saying I couldn’t do it because of TAGs/PhD interview prep/the cancer scare. Each time they stepped in & helped out despite being incredibly busy themselves.

Being ill recently has left me feeling like I’ve not really got very much done. So in an attempt to cheer myself up now I’m doing much better, I thought I’d make a 2022 🎄advent calendar🎄of things I’m proud of/glad about (in no particular order)
