In light of #Defiance from Channel 4 Rogan Productions I want to re-share resource lists I created for the Asian Youth Movements, Brick Lane, IWA and 1981 chapters of The Shoulders We Stand On.

The lists contain mostly free resources to find out more about these movements.

Looking forward to speaking at the SHAP in Birmingham next week (details below). Among other things, I'll be taking about my 2013 interview with Stuart, which as far as I know was the last one he did before his death. If you're in Birmingham, come along!

It has been a very long time in the making, but I have pressed send on the final manuscript for Growing Up and Going Out.

It's a book about youth culture, leisure, and the remaking of the post-war city. Coming to a library shelf near you soon!

Infuriates me to witness an expensively and privately-educated journalist decry AHRC grants as money 'stolen from the working class' when such grants are one of the sole routes for a minority of working-class people to competitively enter humanities academia.

It’s fine, I’m just going to think about this every day for the rest of my life

Lecturers: “I’ve got some great comedic references in store for you this semester, I assume you’re all familiar with The Simpsons between 1992 and 1998?”

The students:

Now online: a review dossier dedicated to Daniel Laqua’s book Activism across Borders since 1870: Causes, Campaigns and Conflicts in and beyond Europe (London, 2023), featuring comments by four historians and a response from the author. t.ly/iTYWt

NEW EXHIBITION! I Keep saying I'm going to be more active in sharing my work, but lord knows my cup is full!

It is an affirmation of Simon Peplow's wonderful argument about the (extremely late) rediscovery and creation of the Windrush as a historical moment - 'In 1997, no one had heard of the Windrush.' …w-tandfonline-com.libproxy.york.ac.uk/doi/pdf/10.108…

Dizzyingly surreal to see a country in which both parties are completely beholden to the most reactionary discourse imaginable about unsanctioned 'small boat' arrivals into Britain naming a tube line after the Windrush.

It’s easy to dismiss this as ridiculous or even funny, but historians cannot do their jobs if the government is taking this position. This is an attack on academic freedom. It’s serious! Even if it’s also laughable!

I missed seeing this important looking @historty_uk report out. Darn new twitter! So, I thought I would share it #twitterstorians . I can’t wait to hear more about their new disability and history project and to read this!

Critical finding: 'More broadly, there was consensus that critical EDI reform work was not adequately rewarded or recognised in staff workload models, leading to excessive workload becoming an EDI issue in and of itself.'.

Literally every band, regardless of genre, on the Hootenanny: *plays first chord*
