Really excited to launch my Patient Pioneers Project. You can now receive an innovative parcel by post, a prescription of history. You'll open a package to discover the stories of women dealing with infertility in the 1980s. I'm looking for an audience. Message me! #oralhistory
One of the things I like most about history is the exciting detective work. One of the others is getting real life letters in the post. instagram.com/stories/ivfpio…

An excellent opportunity! Check it out if you're interested in helping to diversify the literature that is taught in schools!
Do you believe every young person should study books that represent the diversity of society? Come and work for The Runnymede Trust & @PenguinUKBooks' #LitinColour project on diversifying the English literature curriculum. Deadline 9th November 👇 jobsearch.createyourowncaree…
I really want to hear and record the stories of women who underwent IVF treatment in 1970s - early 90s. #oralhistory #publichistory #twitterstorian If you, your family, friends fit that bill, please do get in touch for more information.
Just to say that this is open for another week & at this point I'm particularly interested in stories that relate specifically to SINKS, FRIDGES or STOVES/COOKERS
Excited to start the next Lecker project! I'm accepting pitches for an independent magazine about kitchens, to accompany an audio documentary series planned for late 2020. Full brief and pitching info: docs.google.com/document/d/1…

This looks really cool and exciting. If you're wanting to get into audio stuff // you already make it but you're not being paid // you're not being paid properly, this would be a good community to be part of 🔮💫💕
We are starting a peer-to-peer mentor scheme and applications are now OPEN. We want to connect entry-level audio makers with one another and create a community which takes the fear out of networking and creates a space for advice, support and questions (1/2)

THREAD ON CORONAVIRUS AND WORK (and what you’re not being told): 1/ The main reason the U.K. has had so many more deaths than other European countries, and unlike the rest of Europe hasn’t managed to suppress the virus, is because the government has refused to deal with spread in

Another vaguely academic request! A friend is looking to speak to someone who's done research into foraging, whether in this country or elsewhere. Any leads much appreciated!

I've had a good internet trawl and haven't come up with anything so thought I'd try here: can anyone point me in the direction of a food historian who could talk specifically about the history of diaspora food culture in the UK?

‘More people go to see a London theatre show than attend a Premier League football match. In 2018, UK theatres generated ticket revenue of £1.28 billion, employing 290,000 workers.’ The government needs to step up (to the footlights, not just to the crease).

I was recently interviewed about something painful in my life. I learned more about how not to be an interviewer than anything I've read/practiced. This is a devastating time for so many, and people don't owe us their stories. Some insights on how to be respectful & empowering:
