University staff face a 35% cut to guaranteed pensions, their pay is down 20% in real terms in 12 years and a third of academic staff are on insecure contracts. Solidarity to @UoNUCU & @ucu branches across the country on strike today! ✊🏽 #OneOfUsAllOfUs

This paper was a real inspiration for a piece I wrote for @InterwarConf forthcoming volume on international conferences. Mine is on 1950s air travel, this on how 1930s steamship journeys shaped the India roundtable conference well before delegates met at the conference hall
Thinking about political events relationally, how we can historically re-live the act of travelling, and when conferences start and finish... @sulinlewis @idlethink @andyddavies @ElsGeogPlan @ahrcpress @itihaasnaama sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
