This follows a very successful New Voices in the History of War conference that we organised last year with the help of @JanTattenberg prior to the formal launch of the Society.

Take a look at #nvhow18 to see how much fun we had!
Our second conference will be over two days at Sciences Po in France in the spring of 2020.

A conference team is now in place. The dates are being finalised and we will be making announcements about this very soon.

#NVHOW20 We survived one ‘friendly fire’ incident and the vagaries of internet connections in rural Gloucestershire, aka two tin cans and a length of string!
#NVHOW20 It’s been a fascinating afternoon. Please feel free to continue asking questions and discussing the presentations.
@SocHistoryWar now has its AGM, beginning at 17:00. The keynote speech by @BeatriceHeuser on ‘Compassion and War’ will be available soon. Watch this space!

#NVHOW20 Introducing Hannah West @hannah_r_west @UniofBath @DefenceResNet 'What did YOU do in the war, Mummy?' - an examination of the British Army’s attempts to exclude women from the history of combat and front-line service #womenatwar #wealsoserve
1 #NVHOW20 Let’s get started… You may know that in 2018 the British Armed Forces opened all roles to women, yet it is a myth to say that women are only now able to serve in ‘frontline combat’
2 #NVHOW20 Women have been distanced from ‘frontline combat’ by discursive constructions using their bodies to deny them agency and make their presence acceptable. Yet women have repeatedly transgressed the front-line, demonstrating agency in their participation.

#NVHOW20 Introducing Francesca Hooft @FrancescaHooft @UtrechtUni ‘Hippocrates under arms: adaptation, cooperation, and agency’ - the experiences and agency of Dutch military medical personnel in post 1990 peace, combat, and humanitarian missions #oralhistory #UNpeacekeeping
1 #NVHOW20 Good afternoon! My name is Francesca Hooft and I’m a PhD candidate @UniUtrecht. I research the changing role of military medical personnel within the Dutch armed forces in deployments between 1990 and 2010, focussing on physicians’ and nurses’ personal experiences.
2 #NVHOW20 The position of medical personnel within the armed forces has always been considered ambiguous and problematic. The military demands a high level of obedience and loyalty. Hierarchy may impede agency to act according to medical professional values and standards.

#NVHOW20 Introducing Dr Victoria Woodman @v_woodman ‘Waiting is the Women’s Role: the Falklands Conflict media representation of Royal Navy Wives’ - media coverage and their representation as a homogeneous
1 #NVHOW20 How were Task Force families portrayed in newspapers and television reports during the Falklands Conflict? Much has been written on how the media accompanied the task force, the journalists sent, the MoD release of news and the political attacks made on the media.
2 #NVHOW20 Fifty naval wives interviewed for my research stated that the primary method of receiving updates on the conflict was through the media. The media reports portrayed them at the time in terms of loyalty. Gender divisions were distinctly defined; men/battle, women/home. Image

#NVHOW20 Introducing Grace Stephenson @GStephensonHist @durham_uni @CDPConnect 'Newsreels and the Narrative of World War II - how the narratives evident in World War II cinema newsreels have become embedded within British culture #SWW #WWII #Homefront #SecondWorldWar #Newsreels
1 #NVHOW20 Five companies produced British newsreels in #WWII holding a monopoly over the British newsreel industry. In 1937 they set up the Newsreel Association of Great Britain & Ireland (NRA). Most communication between the companies & the government was through the NRA.
2 #NVHOW20 The NRA’s purpose was:'...to promote & protect the interests...of associates engaged in the production & distribution of...Newsreels...& to bring about & maintain co-operation'. One of the primary concerns for wartime newsreels was censorship. [Image: @MediaMuseum]
