Thanks Sam! a little surreal to see my name in one of the newspapers I draw from in my research...

Thanks Will! This would be a pretty full-circle moment for me since my interest in Engels/Manchester sprouted from a reading I had in my undergrad @calpolyslo.bsky.social !

Thanks Tom!

Thanks so much Lucie, I'm so pleased to be able to share this research with everyone! And maybe garner a little more interest in @urbanhistorygroup.bsky.social while I'm at it...

Had such a blast in Leicester with the Urban History Group this week! So many great papers from Early Career and Senior researchers alike :)
Hoping to see everyone in Barcelona at #EAUH2026 and then back together for #UHG2027!

Thanks Freddy!

My first working paper is out! If you're at all interested in using I-CeM for spatial investigation, check out my method for residential georeferencing.
