#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’

#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.

#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.

#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.

#NVHOW20 Introducing Jonathan Ruffle @JonathanRuffle ‘TOMMIES’ – The First World War as BBC Radio Drama’- the conception and building of the 11th November 1918 episode of the @BBCRadio4 drama set 150 miles up the Dvina River in northern Russia #FWW #WW1 #FirstWorldWar 1 #NVHOW20 Hi #twitterhistorians. I'm @JonathanRuffle. I created, co-wrote and co-produced a 42-episode real-time BBC Radio 4 drama called TOMMIES about the First World War.

#NVHOW20 Introducing Harriet Jackson @harrietj1928 “This Whole Wretched Mess”: Representations of the First World War in Children’s Literature’ - the cultural memory of the First World War and its representation in the children’s literature #FWW #WW1#FirstWorldWar 1 #NVHOW20 My research examined the relationship between the public memory of WW1 and its representation in children’s books over the past 20 years. This isn’t simply top-down; in some areas children’s literature echoes popular ideas of WW1, and in other ways it challenges them.

#NVHOW20 Introducing Alice Tofts @AliceTofts2 @I_W_M @CDPConnect ‘An affective and reflective approach to studying Holocaust memory and photographs’ - the challenges implicit in managing emotional reactions to harrowing subjects #holocaustmemory #heuristicresearch #PhDlife 1 #NVHOW20 Few would deny that war and conflict is inherently upsetting and traumatic to experience and witness. But we rarely question what it means to study it? How do traumatic pasts impact those who investigate them and what does this mean for historical enquiry?

#NVHOW20 Introducing Dr Stephen Moore @smooreBofB1940 ‘The Bethnal Green Shelter Disaster’; how the causes of the greatest loss of life in a shelter in the UK during the Second World War have been distorted by post-war press claims #SWW #WWII #SecondWorldWar 1 #NVHOW20 At 2025 on 3 March 1943 173 people died on this staircase during the Bethnal Green shelter disaster. Reoccurring conspiracy theories claim of 'cover up & rumour' as information was withheld 'for two days', and details were 'kept secret for years', which persist today.

#NVHOW20 Introducing Dr Joel Morley @JoelMMorley ‘Young men’s encounters with the Great War in interwar Britain’ - what they encountered, what left an impression, and how those impressions impact our understanding of the cultural legacy of the #GreatWar #FirstWorldWar #FWW #NVHOW20 conference presenter @JoelMMorley is the author of the forthcoming @ManchesterUP Joining Up in the Second World War: Enlistment, Masculinity and the Memory of the Great War, 2022. #GreatWar #FirstWorldWar #FWW #Memory ##SWW #WWII #SecondWorldWar

#NVHOW20 Introducing Liam Markey @Liam_Markey94 @LivUni @britishlibrary @ESRC ‘Living Memory and the Commemoration of the First World War in Britain’ - commemorative practices and the social conditions which led to their creation #FWW #Remembrance #FirstWorldWar 1 #NVHOW20 This presentation will look at the role living memory has played in transforming British collective memory of the First World War (FWW). I posit that the issue of first-hand experience has greatly influenced modern representations of the conflict

#NVHOW20 Introducing Mike Sewell @Mike_Sewell @Uni_of_Essex ‘Using the British Civil War in Colchester in the early nineteenth century’ - how the Civil War was used by Whigs and Tories to express loyalty in the late 18th and early 19th centuries #Colchester #CivilWar 1 #NVHOW20 The study of the impact of the British Civil War has often ended in the early eighteenth century as the last combatants died, but the conflict had a lengthier impact on local communities such as Colchester in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Our first conference panel on Friday explores how the commemoration and memory of wars have been used to meet the political, cultural and social needs of later generations. @Mike_Sewell @Liam_Markey94 @NMiscic
