2024 is set to be quite an intense work year for me, quite a few exciting things going on! These will crop up in future posts but for now I'll just that there will be history work coming on: colonial urban planning and military landscapes; fish and fishing in the history of the built environment; history of infrastructures. There'll also be interdisciplinary discussion of watery agency. As a still recovering twitter addict, I'll still be trying to learn more mindful ways of using social media without either becoming obsessed with it or dropping off completely. Let's see how all this goes!

More of an introduction than I've done before:
I'm an environmental architectural historian, or maybe a historian of the built environment, certainly something too long. Currently a British Academy Postdoc at The Bartlett, UCL, where I work on the coastal histories of Belgium, England and the Netherlands.

If you are transphobic, racist, ablist, think that empires were good or that it's not racist to hate travellers, expect to be blocked.
