Elodie Duché, York St John University The Napoleonic Wars were a period of heightened mobility: not only regiments, but civilians, commodities and ideas travelled on a transnational if not global scale during the period.

Institute of Historical Research 'To keep my living for time being': strategies of makeshift in interwar Britain Laura Tabili (University of Arizona) The paper will reconstruct patterns of migration, work and settlement among migrants from the colonies to Britain, focusing on the 1920s and 1930s.

Many of the social and political reforms achieved in Australia before the First World War were implemented well before the Imperial metropole. Indeed, as early as the 1890s, Australia was widely regarded as a ‘workingman’s paradise’ and...

Institute of Historical Research Paris-Sorbonne University The seventh-century monasteries of Wearmouth-Jarrow and the bones of the Northumbrian landscape Sam Turner (University of Newcastle) Most historical accounts of Anglo-Saxon Northumbria focus on religious conversion as a key driving force in 7th-century social change. As a counterpoint to this approach, I suggest that the examination of certain 'technologies' can help explain more specifically what changed, why it changed and how...
