Yesterday was graduation at Queen Mary. @fmurrayrowlins.bsky.social and I have been very fortunate to be part of the plants and humanities group supervised by @rxcoulton.bsky.social. It has been a wonderful intellectual experience, and also a great deal of fun

Three people in academic dress sitting on a bench in a small garden area at Queen Mary University of London. In the centre is Richard Coulton, wearing the red PhD gown of the University of London, and either side of him are his two most recent PhD graduates: Francesca Murray and Brad Scott. They are wearing the blue, black and silver gowns of Queen Mary. Francesca's thesis is titled "Mutual Aid in the Nineteenth Century Gardening Trade: Organisational Responses to Indigent and Elderly Gardeners and their Widows", and Brad's is "Making and Occluding Plant Knowledge in Britain: Hans Sloane (1660–1753), his herbarium, and its afterlives"
