Great final day on our school trip to Northern Ireland - a visit to the Northern Ireland Assembly where we had a fascinating Q&A with @DavidBrooksMLA and then a brilliant walking tour of the city - exhausted but a real learning experience all round!

Excellent History & Politics school trip first day in Belfast - the powerful Titanic Experience, the harrowing Crumlin Road Gaol, and great talks from Ashok Malhotra at Queen's University Belfast and Scott Cuthbertson from The Rainbow Project 😃

Great afternoon in Cambridge at a Library of Congress @KlugeCtr alumni gathering - really interesting to hear about the importance of arts and humanities libraries & archives today! I loved my time as an AHRC fellow at the Kluge Center in 2008 - invaluable to my PhD studies 📚 👨‍🎓
