@DrDaveOBrien Thanks. I'm still pleased with it after reading multiple rounds of proofs, which I'm taking as a good sign

What a fascinating paper! š Opened so many windows onto important questions about the relationship between public and private grief, whose anger is legitimate, and so much more. Heading home with a head full of thoughts.
All set for our ā¦@contbrithistā© seminar with ā¦@stephenjbrookeā© in the flesh, so lucky to have him speak to us on a trip to London.

@contbrithist @JuliaLaite @TricksterPrince @DrLauraKing @caitbeaumont @ihr_history Such an interesting discussion. Reminds me that I never really carried on thinking about dementia, memory and history after saying goodbye to my nan, who made such an impact on my first decade of doing history
