Back home now after 2 fantastic days at the HistoryLab+ conference. Thoroughly inspired by all the work that was presented, as I said a million times I want to visit lots of the museums/tours that were discussed If you want to get involved with HL+ definitely get in touch

Had to say goodbye today to one of my little writing buddies I don’t know what I’ll do when I’m home alone without my little shadow following me around. He’s sat by me as I’ve written every dissertation/thesis, I’ll miss his distractions when I get back to writing 💜

A new episode of the #WhosePowerPod is out now and oh how the tables have turned… In this episode, Bobby and Rahesa managed to get Abigail Harrison Moore into the hot seat, turning the podcast host into the guest! Check it out and let us know what you think bit.ly/3VRxfr6

It was fantastically thought-provoking to be asked the questions in this week's episode. Bobby and Rahesa grilled me in a way that I have come to expect from Preservative Party ... challenging but kind and full of laughter. Enjoy!!

Episode 3 is out now and Preservative Party absolutely smashed it again! Lots of great points made. Abigail Harrison Moore made a point about self doubt and uncertainty as researchers & it was so reassuring to me as an ECR to hear that actually we all have those feelings sometimes

10 hours stuck in the car (traffic 🤦🏼‍♀️) but we made it on time for Billy Joel this evening in Cardiff… Absolutely amazing concert, not that I was surprised!!! Now to get to our hotel & 😴😴

Our next podcast guest is Tae, who joined us in 2022 (it was a busy year for the Preservative Party). Tae originally had no interest in taking part in the project but after an eye opening conversation with Abigail felt empowered to take part in the conversations being had...

Today's Guardian includes an obituary of the historian of global slavery, Trevor Burnard. Trevor's untimely death is a great loss for the profession and students and colleagues History@Hull and Wilberforce Institute theguardian.com/books/2024/aug…

And just in front is one of the oldest vacuum cleaners in the collection which had a starring role in Whose Power? Energy Change in the Home, our Preservative Party exhibition which we hope to open again in the Autumn at Leeds Museums & Galleries Discovery Centre. A joyous cornucopia of things!

Power is an ever present conversation both in PP and on the world stage. Just this week Michelle Obama stated that ‘all of our contributions deserve to be accepted and valued’ Never has that quote rung so true as in this process of developing Whose Power?… 1/🧵

Listen to the latest podcast episode where Tae discusses how the project evolved to value their contributions and experiences and in turn has widened the narrative about who we consider in the histories of energy 2/2

The words of Michelle Obama fit so beautifully with the entire ethos of Preservative Party and the #WhosePowerPod In episode 4 Abigail Harrison Moore and Tae discussed how empowering our young people by valuing our vulnerabilities and different interests made this project what it is 👏🏻

The #WhosePowerPod drops its last series 1 episode tomorrow… and guess what… I’m one of the guests!! If you want to hear all about a decade with PresParty & my thoughts on universities & widening participation then this episode is definitely one to listen to…

🚨PODCAST ALERT🚨 Episode 5 of the #WhosePowerPod is out now. Join Abigail Harrison Moore, Lauren & Grace to talk about mentoring, how they see themselves as researchers & what they want to see from future research projects that aim to engage young people bit.ly/3VRxfr6
