When this book was first proposed as a biography of the naturalist John Knapp, I liked it. Over the months the book evolved and now it includes his journal too and I love it.

I had fun with👇 likening the decline of Kellaways to the town of Radiator Springs in the Pixar movie Cars.🚗 Both were on major routes & suffered when traffic diverted. In Kellaway's case when parliament forces tried to destroy the bridge in the 1640s. 🫢 www.louiserylandepton.co.uk/blog/kellawa...

Love this tiny depiction of St Anne teaching the Virgin Mary to read in Rendcomb, #Gloucestershire, I presume one of the Flemish panels incorporated into the nave windows by Baillie in the 1850s #StainedGlassSunday, always loved this evidence of women's education by women.

I am really looking forward to this! @amalexathorn.bsky.social's work with the Beyond Notability project has taught all of us @vchlondon.bsky.social so much about our archives, the people within them, and the context of 'doing' history in the early 20th century. 🗃️

My piece for History Workshop looks back at what feels, I'm sure to me and so many other academics in the UK, like a decade-long crisis in universities. A crisis of politics, of a particularly venomous form of "education as market" ideology, and now a crisis of desperate, annihilating job cuts. 1/2
