Following from my last post, I thought I should share the subject of the talks that have made me animated! I would also like to thank @swwdtp.bsky.social for all their support during my last couple of presentations!

Secondly, whilst my presenting mode may be animated, my listening state is a lot more... reserved. I want the record to show I am thinking about questions and trying to take in what is being said and I am most definitely not bored!

First of all, I speak with my hands A LOT! I get so engrossed in my work that I find it hard stand still and follow a script which did lead to a rather comedic throwing of my script on Saturday!

Who doesn't love an action shot of you speaking at a conference courtesy of your Mum? 😂

I thoroughly enjoyed watching the results of these past few months of effort. Thank you to all speakers and attendees (both in person and online), my co-organisers @dylanneill.bsky.social, @swwdtp.bsky.social, and everyone that shared and engaged with this project along the way!

Day two of the conference complete! With some excellent panels and speakers, day two was completely filled with some amazing papers on Privateering, Methodology, Naval Violence, Representations of Violence on the Stage, and England's relations with her Neighbours in the Late Seventeenth Century.

Day one complete of the Conflict, War and Violence in the Early Modern World conference! Had some very insightful talks covering a variety of topics! The day finished with a fantastic talk from Professor Mark Stoyle followed by a walking tour of the city walls! I look forward to tomorrow!

And the location was perfect!

Inductions to the SWW Doctoral Training Partnership ✔️

Excited to be able to share the programme of events for our upcoming conference at the end of this month! Hope to see some of you there!

I won't let a pending deadline stop me from heading to London on a coach to attend an IHR seminar 💁‍♀️

I was invited to co-organise this upcoming conference being held later this month at the University of Exeter. With two days of exciting talks and panels, plus a walking historical tour of Exeter and a group dinner, I'd highly recommend coming along if you can!

A little bit late in the day but I had to jump on here to acknowledge the 365th anniversary of the Restoration of Charles II, which fell on his 30th birthday. This anniversary is especially important for me at the moment as I am currently writing a paper about his restoration!

After strict instructions from my supervisor to take breaks and have some more fun within my schedule, I decided to spend Easter Sunday doing what I love... visiting historical places of interest 😊
