ah, this is going to be SO GOOD! And we're luring Aditya Chakrabortty to Mile End!

Do join if you've got even just a passing interest in #SocialHistory, #BritishHistory, #UrbanHistory, history of photography, or a bunch of cool brains in one room. #SkyStorians

How do we write histories of small towns in the post-1945 period? Towns such as Halifax in the Calder Valley feature little in an otherwise thriving historiography of contemporary Britain. Yet for an earlier generation of social historian, most notably E. P. Thompson, who wrote The Making of the English Working Class while living there, such towns were crucial to understanding the processes of industrialisation and capitalist modernity. How can we include such places in more purposeful narratives of the more recent past? How do we write inclusive histories of belonging for the residents of these towns that do not consign them to being ‘left behind’, as though their histories are only considered to explain their ‘unmaking’ and marginalisation: towards an overdetermined present of post-Brexit Britain, flags and Reform?

The home and the human life preserved at Glasgow’s ‘Tenement House’ is just the most extraordinary window into an increasingly distant era of social history. Wonderfully preserved, interpreted and displayed.

I’m very excited to be doing the evening online version of #Suffolk Archives’ ‘Workhouses & #SocialHistory’ talk which starts on Monday 19 October. Not sure how much I there is to find out about the #Sudbourne workhouse - not much in the archives - but I’ll do my best!
