Thrilled to see my book reviewed in @hsozkult alongside the wonderful @NowKatarzyna's work: https://t.co/bXN87Dgt97 Thank you to @Daniel_Newcast for noticing it and sending it through. It's been a nice way to brighten my Wednesday afternoon while in a REF meeting. #UKacademia

"If you see German soldiers, don't panic. They're here to help," says Polish PM @donaldtusk after announcing that German troops were volunteering to help tackle the floods in Poland

My book is now out in Paperback! Thank you @BloomsburyHist for the gratis copies 🙏 https://t.co/BhiTOkfvI4

Absolutely devastated by the news of @AgnesFlues’ sudden passing. The absolute best of @ucu. Kind, practical, and committed to what she believed in. Our @UoNUCU community has lost one of its best. Sending so much love to the people who knew her well. 🩷

To refer to "Russian-speaking areas of Ukraine" in 2024 seems at best poor usage. Areas don't really speak languages, people do. And, those people might speak several languages, and populations don't uniformly speak one language. And, you can't infer an identity from a language.

🚨The CEH Prize 2024 is now open for submissions! The winning article by a PhD or early-career researcher will be published in the journal, and the author will receive £400 worth of @CambridgeUP books. The deadline is 6 Sept 2024. Full details here: https://t.co/DtS0TY8Zrx

Many thanks again to our contributors for their diligent and brilliant work on the volume, as well as the @BloomsburyHist and the Histories of Internationalism series ☺️ @PeterGatrell @NowKatarzyna @DanPlesch @SilviaSalvatici @UlyssesThew

I loved hosting these workshops. Each time I've learned so much just being able to have the space and time to talk to others about their experiences researching, teaching, and curating hidden histories. Thanks to all who took part 💜 if the funding gods are kind, we'll be back 🤞

A lovely (and generous) review of my book - Occupiers, Humanitarian Workers, and Polish Displaced Persons in British Occupied Germany - in @CEUReviewBooks today 😊 https://t.co/29k7jv0bG6 Thank you @CEUReviewBooks and @NowKatarzyna

#Reviewer2 strikes again. Why would a journal forward on inappropriate comments which were WRITTEN IN ALL CAPS. It is tough enough getting a review back without being shouted at through email #academia #AcademicChatter

Second workshop with @QueerBritain - this time at University of Nottingham! A lovely talk by QB's new curator, Jennifer Shearman, and some excellent and thoughtful discussions by all involved. #academia #queerhistories #hiddenhistories #KEImpact

Is anyone going to #ASEEES this year? @KarenLUslin, @LgmSam & I need someone to chair our panel on post-war Poland. Can anyone help? @aseeestudies #History #conference

It was a lovely turnout for my talk about my book, but also all the other things which have sprouted from it. An engaging and fun audience of scholars and students from all levels, having such a mix really made it interesting. Thanks again to @EastCentreUea for inviting me 🙂

The East Centre Research Seminar welcomed our erstwhile UEA colleague, Dr Samantha K. Knapton tonight, for a fantastic paper: 'Occupiers, Humanitarian Workers, and Polish Displaced Persons in British Occupied Germany'. Thank you, @LgmSam!

And it has been launched! Thanks to our contributors for sticking with us, our commentators @JessicaReinisch @TaitheModern & Kerstin von Lingen for their kind and thought-provoking insights, and to the audience for joining us 🙂 #UNRRA #postwar #AcademicChatter #booklaunch

Now you can watch it on our YT: Samantha Knapton @LgmSam (University of Nottingham) in @PileckiInstitut on Polish Displaced Persons in British-occupied Germany 1945-51, with comments by Markus Nesselrodt (@viadrina )
