Finally catching up on a few of @davidolusoga.bsky.social documentaries; episode 2 of Empire is a great introduction to convict transportation.

In a few weeks-on 3rd September-I will be presenting some of my PhD research at the British Crime Historians Symposium at Oxford Brookes University. There are a lot of interesting papers and I'm looking forward to meeting some other crime historians (some of whom I've referenced).

Bit of a long shot - does anyone have, or, know where to access English translations of Fazl-e-Haq Khairabadi's writings on the 1857 Indian Rebellion and his time in the Kalapani jail on the Andaman and Nicobar Islands? #historians #historiansofbluesky

Looking to presenting at the 2026 British Crime Historians Symposium at Oxford Brookes University. The other 2 Convict Transportation papers sound great and it's chaired by Emma D. Watkins whose book - Life Courses of Young Convicts Transported to Van Diemen's Land - is one of the best on the topic.
