Another fab morning at Aston University today guest lecturing on the history of #statelessness #citizenship loss and #digitalidentity for their Migration, Borders and Belonging course. As a Brummie, it was a badge of honour to be invited to teach and engage with students in my home turf. Bostin’!

Having recently attended a short @ihr.bsky.social course in London I recommend this one if it’s your thing. Don’t be put off if about it being a *university* course. My experience was very warm and friendly; so many people from different backgrounds all shared their knowledge and experience.

I thoroughly enjoyed my guest lecture on the Migration, Borders and Belonging course at Aston University this week. It was very special to be invited to teach on the Caribbean back in my hometown after all these years. Full circle moment.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrest: this isn’t even close to the worst constitutional crisis the monarchy has faced The affair pales in significance beside the abdication crisis of 1936.

The affair pales in significance beside the abdication crisis of 1936.

All good things come to an end It is with great sadness that we are sharing the news that the UCL Faculties of Social & Historical Sciences and Arts & Humanities have decided to close the IAS on 31 July 2026.

Very sad news about the IAS closure. It raises the question, once again, of why it seems to be so difficult to have sustained commitment to interdisciplinary work. www.ucl.ac.uk/institute-of...

My colleague Philip Murphy @historyandpolicy.bsky.social @ihr.bsky.social just published this brilliant article on the current Mountbatten-Windsor debacle. Searing historical analysis and the best thing you’ll read all week.
