- Once again, M*tt G**dwin owes me/ghosted me on a book review from c. 2011 (fully appreciate everyone misses these/they get put to one side given all our priorities) but, you know, I was sending him grumpy emails before you knew he existed.
- Reposted by Chris MooresLooking forward to @sethrockman.bsky.social public lecture on Plantation Goods tomorrow. 6pm at BRIG cafe. @johnmunro.bsky.social www.birmingham.ac.uk/events/publi...
- Outgoing academic journal editor here. I know everyone is busy AND over-worked AND its unclear who profits from the work being done AND there are fewer of us than previously, BUT if everyone's New Year resolution is to say 'no' to peer review requests things might grind a bit to a halt.

- Had a very good time talking about stomach aches, pain, and conservatism at #nacbs in Montreal while also representing @mbsbirmingham.bsky.social
- From what I've seen, I'd say coursework and online exams have made ChatGPT look pointless. It's basically shit at these things.
- I am aware that I have fallen directly into this newspapers' make people who work in universities tetchy on a Sunday morning fun.
- Feels like a timely moment to be thinking about 'economic nationalism' (again), so I am looking forward to my splendid colleague Klaus Richter's lecture next week: www.birmingham.ac.uk/schools/hist... I imagine registration is still open!
- Cant help but think four films on Yoko, Linda, Mo, and Pattie would be way more interesting than the Beatles films. Ideally, keep Sofia Coppola away.
- Some madness well updates. Seeing as I know some of my department enjoyed seeing these.

- Reposted by Chris MooresTomorrow, Wednesday 7th May 2025, Unison and UCU will be hosting a Solidarity Picnic for Trans Rights on the Green Heart outside the Main Library from 12:30–2pm. Please come along, bringing your own lunch, to this relaxed and casual event to show solidarity and allyship to trans+ staff and students.
- My town is having it's annual 'normal one' and I'm absolutely into it.
- This is worth reflecting on for anyone less directly impacted by the supreme court verdict last week. It's already clear that harm is being done here.
- Rainbows in the storm: Navigating hostility and hope in LGBTQ+ lives Following last week's Supreme Court ruling & new data on suicide deaths, @davidwoodhead.bsky.social explores how mental health inequalities are impacting LGBTQ+ people, and how we can tackle these injustices👇 tinyurl.com/mpu2a7px
- And as with the hostile environment a zealous policing of vulnerable minorities inevitably extends beyond those being targeted in all sorts of unanticipated ways.
- If I were redoing my book I think I'd develop the longer history of privacy campaigns and their connection to minority rights protection much more central.
- Reposted by Chris MooresTriple book launch for myself, @drsarahlkenny.bsky.social, and @hannahcharnock.bsky.social! Thanks to @lauratisdall.bsky.social for chairing. Please do join if you're interested in social and cultural approaches to young people's lives and leisure spaces. 12 June, 12-1, tinyurl.com/mryazrew
- One more round. Despite the various responses the CCCS feels really significant in terms of books. I'd add bham centres more generally feel distinct. Been thinking about John Stewarts work on local govt as a non glamorous massive contribution from bham www.theguardian.com/society/2023...
- Learning the Labour, McRobbie, Hobson, Dyer, Gilroy etc... CCCS looms large. But I'm into what would become Inlogov too!
- Reposted by Chris MooresThere's lots of events around my University's 125 anniversary. I was chatting with a colleague about the most well-known books written at/within the University. What would folk suggest? We started with the following (which reflected our own areas of research as much as anything):
- Reposting this in case anyone has other suggestions. Economics? Sciences?
- @tricksterprince.bsky.social Robert Cecil's Letter to an MP on Disarmament (or The Way of Peace)? Maybe? Obviously known at the time but get eclipsed by...err...events.
