The programme for the online edition of #nvhow20 is now up on our website! Over the next week, we'll also introduce our speakers on Twitter. show.org.uk/new-voices-ii

Our first #nvhow20 speaker will be @Mike_Sewell, on the 19th century political uses of the British Civil War by the Whigs and the Tories.

Next up at #nvhow20 will be @Liam_Markey94 who will speak about the changing meaning of #FWW commemorations in Britain as the war fades from living memory.

Following Liam #nvhow20 will be @NMiscic who'll present her case study of the Carniolan Savings Banks' humanitarian work during the #FWW

First up after #nvhow20 lunch break will be @JoelMMorley's presentation on young men's engagement with representations of the #FWW in interwar Britain

Moving on from the interwar period, for #nvhow20 @smooreBofB1940 will elaborate on the below thread on the Bethnal Green shelter disaster!

Last before the afternoon break will be @AliceTofts2 reflecting on the challenges emerging from studying Holocaust memory and photographs.

Next, @harrietj1928 will look at representations of the #FWW in children's literature in the late 20th and early 21st century!

Following, @JonathanRuffle gives us a look behind the scenes of his @BBCFOUR radio drama "Tommies"!

Then @GStephensonHist tweets about "Newsreels and the Narrative of World War II: Then and Now"

#NVHOW20

We've then scheduled @v_woodman to give her twitter presentation at 16:00 on 25 Sept.

Victoria's paper is called:

"Waiting is the Women’s Role: the Falklands Conflict media representation of Royal Navy Wives"

But it's not over because we still have two more papers to go.

This one by @FrancescaHooft "Hippocrates under arms: adaptation, cooperation, and agency" starting at 1615...

And our very last conference paper by @hannah_r_west called "What did YOU do in the war, Mummy?" which starts at 1630 and goes on until 1645.

@JohnMBeales and @warmatters will make sure all the twitter conference papers come out as a thread on the @SocHistoryWar twitter handle.

John and Matthew will then field and round up the Q&A for the participants and those of you who are tagging along.

We're looking forward to #NVHOW20 and like Michael Sheen we think this is going to be good stuff.
