I'm delighted to be able to say that I passed my PhD viva on Tuesday. Thank you ever so much to Prof Caitríona Beaumont & Dr Tanya Cheadle for their generous and insightful questions, and to Lynn Abrams & Karen Boyle for their guidance throughout this process! 🥳🍾

Our programme is officially launched! All UofG PG Humanities students and researchers welcome 🥰 Get in touch at [email protected] or DM us if you have any questions!

Another quarter, another newsletter! Our cover celebrates Glasgow Women's Library’s securing Maud Joachim’s medal with a grant from ScotGov and generous donations. The medal recognises the first Scottish hunger strike; a fantastic bit of feminist history to have in Glasgow. (1/8) 🧵

Our PGRs are celebrating many successes this summer! Anna McEwan’s work was selected for a prize and publication in ‘German History’, Charlotte James Robertson’s article was published in ‘Women’s History Review’, and Hannah Speed’s blog was featured on WomensHistScot. Well done all. (2/8)

We're thrilled to have secured the Maud Joachim hunger strike medal at auction. This was made possible by a grant from the Scottish Government’s National Fund for Acquisitions & an incredible £28,000 raised in individual donations from around 500 people. Thank you to everyone!

We're excited to be kicking off this year's programme of events with our welcome event next Wednesday 4th October! Join us for our book/multimedia swap, all welcome! ✨

I had a wonderful time presenting on women's refuges at both the SocialHistorySociety and Oral History Society annual conferences this past week! Really special to connect in person with friends and colleagues after a period online. Such brilliant work going on in both these fields 🥳⭐️

I had so much fun organising and running these workshops. Lovely to be able to discuss the items with students in person 📚

⭐️Change of date⭐️Georgia Grainger's (Georgia) talk for Hufton will now be on the Wed 4th May at 3pm online. It is entitled: ''Objectionable, mean, and demeaning': Masculine opposition to vasectomy in Britain in the twentieth century'.
