Bridging racial and climate | Brigstow Institute | University of Bristol
In 2025 the UK experienced the hottest summer on record, and an increase in racist violence on our streets. What do these things have in common? Who benefits from climate denialism and community divisions? And how can we tackle them both to ensure a safe and dignified life for us all?

Thank you so much to @lottelouisa.bsky.social for a fascinating talk on beer consumption of Central European women tourists at today's @womenandalcohol.bsky.social seminar. So interesting to hear about the manner in which these women talk about drink and drinking in their private diaries

Ooh this looks interesting
This is a fascinating listen on how researchers uncover rural LGBT+ lives in the archive, and the difficulties in doing so compared to in urban histories:
🐏 New Absolute Units 🐏
Same-sex relationships have always been part of rural England, but they've been underrepresented in our collections.
In the first of 2 episodes, @timjerrome.bsky.social shares his work tracing queer rural lives in The MERL archives.
