I just had the good fortune to spend 3 days at a wonderful conference (stimulating, collegial) @uoyenglishrl.bsky.social @crems-york.bsky.social but it strikes me very forcefully what vision the British governments of the 1960s had for the university sector 1/3

‘Tasting History: Researching and Experiencing the Development of the Cheese Trade’, with @cheesetastingco.bsky.social and @cheeseandpeople.bsky.social, hosted by Birkbeck's Centre for Medieval and Early Modern Studies, Feb 24th! Register here: www.bbk.ac.uk/events/event...

Tasting History

Researching and Experiencing the Development of the Cheese Trade

Keynes Library, Gordon Square

Tuesday 24 February 2026
1500-1730
This interactive, experiential event will include a discussion with Ned Palmer, author of A Cheesemonger’s History of the British Isles, and Alasdair McNeill, a Birkbeck doctoral student researching the early modern cheese trade. It will be accompanied by a free tasting of six historic cheeses.

Ned will introduce each cheese by placing it in its historical context, and the tastings will be interspersed with a conversation between Ned and Alasdair about the development of the trade and its importance to broader histories of commercialisation, labour relations, and women’s social and economic role. They will also discuss the value, and limits, of experiential food studies. How can the history of cheese – from milking to mongering – illuminate the role of ordinary women and men in their local communities and wider society? How can producing and tasting historic foods help us understand their histories?
