Great weekend attending my first BrANCH conference in Cardiff! A highlight was @beccapalmer99.bsky.social’s paper on Conspiracy in the Revolutionary Era.

Huge day for the parish launching @shannondevlin.bsky.social’s first book at Queen’s. Very much a full circle moment. Galileo loved it. @qubhistory.bsky.social

Proud friend alert! I saw from the PhD office to now just how much blood, sweat, tears, and prosecco went into getting this book out. It’s a great read. Delighted for you @shannondevlin.bsky.social!

Happy publication week! Delighted (& slightly terrified) my first book is out in the wild for everyone to read 😂 Had so much fun going down the rabbit hole researching these families and hope that’s evident on the page #histfam

On the left of the image, the book cover for Siblinghood and Sociability in Nineteenth-Century Ulster. Next to it, on the right, white text on a dark purple background which reads: 'Using innovative genealogical methods, this book explores nineteenth-century Irish middle-class life through the sibling relationship.' In the top right corner, the LUP logo. The background is a black and white photograph taken from the book's cover, which portrays a nineteenth-century family posing for a portrait photo.
