Fellowship of the Royal Historical Society

This summer I was elected as Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. Thanks to my colleague Prof. Jonathan Morris - the coffee historian! - for his kind support in this. Yesterday evening, I was announced as a new Fellow at the Society’s September lecture at UCL. 45 Fellows, over half of whom are female, 15 members and 20 Postgraduate Members (50% of whom are female) were elected to the Society in July 2019. Those of us who were present at the September lecture had their names read out, but we were not required to wave, stand up or say anything (happily!) Fellows assist the Society in its work representing history and historians, in policy, curriculum, events, publishing and funding activities.
