Are you a postgraduate researcher in Jewish history? A postdoctoral researcher? If so, join the New Generation Group, a peer group of researchers like you, for mutual learning, reading, and support, under the auspices of the Jewish Historical Society of England. @NGG_JHSE @jhse

Thrilled that the great @OlgaTokarczuk has been awarded @NobelPrize for literature. She writes as convincingly about 20c travel as on 18c Jews in eastern Europe. She is brave in denouncing antisemitism and for this has suffered death-threats. Get to know #OlgaTokarczuk

History in the UK is rightly viewed as a sensible education, training for careers, in museums, charities, the law, journalism, design, theatre, the civil service, all levels of education, and more. /8

Young people tell us they choose to study history at university not only out of interest, but because they understand - and have managed to convince their parents - that history will prepare them well for a world of change, complexity, and diversity. /9

He has been like this for ages, and we must ask ourselves why he was given so much screen time over about 20 years.

Like others, I won't link or RT Starkey comments & I don't often engage in twitter debates (bc time etc.). V glad to comment on this occasion that Starkey's comments are not only really offensive, but intellectually vapid & erroneous. So a bad historian along with all else

That was the letter. Bagehot also named Lyndal Roper as an example who historians unknown outside academia. Yet she is a bold historian who has done 'big' history - the witch trials, the Reformation - and has written the biography of the far from marginal Martin Luther. / 14/14
