Very pleased to receive my copy of In Slavery's Wake. The book accompanies @NMAAHC's forthcoming touring exhibition and a global curatorial project. Cool to share pages with @SlaveryMuseum colleagues and top scholars from around the world.

This was a great lecture. Really enjoyed listening to Fiona Compton speak and tie together some many different threads. Looking forward to the remembrance walk tomorrow.
Everyone at Liverpoolās Town Hall this evening will remember the poignant and powerful words of our keynote speaker, Fiona Compton for a long time to come. A fitting way to mark the 25th anniversary of Liverpoolās Slavery Remembrance Day commemorations.

Loved 'The Valleys' exhibition @AmgueddfaCymru. Beautiful array of artworks, thoughtfully, lovingly curated and co-curated: the section by Dowlais Visual Art Group was outstanding. The whole thing really felt 'of' South Wales.** ( **from my non-native p-o-v, admittedly.)

Really enjoyed @HistoryLabPlus conference. Lots of interesting papers and @SlaveryMuseum curators got useful feedback about our ideas for displaying histories of slavery and abolition. Thanks to all the organisers and @WilberforceHull for hosting two stimulating days.

Nice piece about colleagues' work @walkergallery. 'Carving Out Truths' has introduced new artworks and perspectives to the sculpture gallery, and really livened up the place in the process. Well worth a trip to William Brown St!

BBC pundits chatting "get rid of extra time" shite. What about Spain-Germany just hours ago? How much better was Merino's goal than whoever 'wins' this? Problem isn't tiredness but negativity from players & managers. Neither side tried to play well let alone force a win.#PORFRA

Busy, productive week. Represented @SlaveryMuseum at 'Troubled relationships: Church and society in dealing with the colonial legacy' in WĆ¼rzburg. Managed some good museuming either side of the conference. Decolonial walking tour of Berlin's African Quarter probably my highlight.

Horrible news. RIP Super Kev.
Everyone at Everton is deeply saddened by the death of our former striker Kevin Campbell at the age of just 54. Not just a true Goodison Park hero and icon of the English game, but an incredible person as well - as anyone who ever met him will know. RIP, Super Kev. š

@andrealivesey Great to see your Granny Marie research spreading forth, Andrea ... all the more so given I was a Histfest organiser as a Lancaster postgrad many moons ago!
