I'm intrigued by this set-up with a "Sonderforschungsbereich"—DeepL tells me it means "collaborative research centre"—affiliated to both a university & a research institute Looks really good on "paper"—❤️ the classification of projects on the "Research" page—but is it as collaborative as it sounds?

Hi! In answer to an —guessing from the accent— Irish scholar about the sense of county belonging in England, @drewhobbs.bsky.social mentioned the boundary changes of the last 50 years, after centuries of stable boundaries, decreasing the sense of belonging. Thanks for providing a concrete example!

Local author Beatrice Tunstall described the village of Marbury near Nantwich in 1948 as "far from the madding crow", and praised the "ancient lanes, deep trodden by the feet of endless generation, flower fringed amid the woodlands, with great hedges where honeysuckle and wild roses riot". (Latham, 1999)
