Stunned and honoured by where my love letter to life living has reached. My profound thanks to everyone who made it possible: from beloveds who roared with me without reading a word, to the readers and judges who so kindly did, and found it worthwhile. I’m delighted to be in such company.

CALL FOR PAPERS - Modern British History and the 'Environmental Turn'. A two-day workshop organised by @maxlong.bsky.social and myself at Lincoln College, Oxford, 16-17 September. Deadline for abstracts is 15 May. Details in poster below, please share.
This two-day workshop will explore several questions. How can environmental history complement or offer alternatives to existing historiographical narratives and periodisations in British history? What new actors, events, or phenomena might come to the fore? How should it foster engagements with places beyond its national borders or with other disciplines? Is environmental history different from longstanding traditions of ‘landscape’ or ‘urban’ histories of Britain? What contributions can historians make to environmental advocacy and policymaking? And how might a focus on the environment reshape teaching in British history?

To take part, participants should submit a 300 word proposal for a short ‘position paper’ (approx. 2500 words) that will be pre-circulated at the workshop. These position papers will address the place of environmental approaches and themes within modern British history (1800 to the present) from the perspective of the participant’s own research. Participants will orally summarise their papers at the workshop. The event is free to attend and includes lunch and refreshments.

Submissions are welcomed across a range of perspectives and topics, including but not limited to: energy, extraction, non-human actors, pollution, toxicity, rural and urban landscapes, everyday  environmental histories (including how they are shaped by class, gender, and race), imperialism and decolonisation, ‘green’ policy, activism, and the political economy of the natural world.

Please send proposals and a one-paragraph biography in a single PDF to andrew.seaton@manchester.ac.uk by 15 May 2026. Please also direct enquiries to this address.

This event is organised by Dr. Max Long (Oxford) and Dr. Andrew Seaton (Manchester).

Ill Colloquium on Late Medieval and Early Modern Cities in Europe: Moving and Being Moved

Call for Papers London, 11-12 June 2026

We are delighted to launch the Call for Papers for the III Colloquium on Late Medieval and Early Modern Cities in Europe, which will take place in London on 11-12 June 2026. After two successful editions, this year's Colloquium will focus on movements) within and accross late medieval and early modern cities (ca. 1300-1800). Topics to be addressed may include but are not limited to:

• Mobile people in urban centres, e.g. migrants, merchants, vagrants, enslaved people, minstrels, mendicants, and pilgrims.
• The exchange of goods and knowledge.
• Transitory urban events and performances that moved bodies and minds, including social uprisings, civic performances, dances and urban processions.
• Lack of 'movement: considerations of what it means to stay put and belong in a city or to be forced to remain in a city.

This is an interdisciplinary and international Colloquium which offers an opportunity for PhD students and early career scholars to share their research through 20-minute long presentations, and to receive feedback through constructive discussion. Established scholars will also be invited to present their research and methods and to contribute to discussion. There will also be opportunities for all participants to continue the conversation over coffee and lunch.

Interested applicants are encouraged to send an abstract of 200 words along with a short bio to Ana Roda Sánchez (Queen Mary University of London), Eliot Benbow (Institute of Historical Research) and Emma Olson (University of Cambridge) in colloquiumcities@gmail.com by 31 January 2026.

If you have any questions, please get in touch with us. We look forward to receiving your proposals and learning about your research!
