My absolute FAVOURITE thing we have done @kingshistory.bsky.social is our new research seminar. External speakers, but also, *mostly* our own colleagues and their research. So far we've had departing colleagues, new Microhistories, and ECRS - we're squeezed like sardines and it is WONDERFUL🗃️

Can hardly believe it is GO TIME for our Very Big, Truly Exciting, capstone project conference: Medicine, Slavery, and Race in the Atlantic World. Looking forward to day one....

Fun/intimidating/inspiring to return to my long-running side hustle on early modern calligraphy in the wonderful company of @komldsp.bsky.social, hopefully more soon....

A terrible photo from our project trip to "The Black Atlantic" but still thinking about the way in which the medium of the 'album' changes the way we can think about Wenceslaus Holler's engraved character studies of Black Africans: what does it mean to cut up, collect, and assemble in this way?

A new to me Black Balthasar from a c.1520 anonymous follower of Rogier van der Weldon at the glorious Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, (throwing back to our Visible Skin exhibition renaissanceskin.ac.uk/visibleskin/ )

#Earlymodern

Looking forward to thinking through some new material...
