Back from #ICCEES2025 and still processing all the connections and conversations! It was great to see so many panels on the history of humanitarianism, and to share some preliminary #ERC EMPSOLID research in such inspiring company.
En route to ICCEES and looking forward to catching up with colleagues. Come join our panel on solidarities and relief across the Russian Empire and Soviet Union. It's on Thursday 24th at 14:45 with @jolaycock.bsky.social and @catherinegibson.bsky.social www.myeventflo.com/event.aspx?m...
