I edited a thing! Because everything is better if it links back to the medieval Lincoln Jewry, I edited an entire volume on the topic. Coming from Arc Humanities Press in May!

Ill Colloquium on Late Medieval and Early Modern Cities in Europe: Moving and Being Moved Call for Papers London, 11-12 June 2026 We are delighted to launch the Call for Papers for the III Colloquium on Late Medieval and Early Modern Cities in Europe, which will take place in London on 11-12 June 2026. After two successful editions, this year's Colloquium will focus on movements) within and accross late medieval and early modern cities (ca. 1300-1800). Topics to be addressed may include but are not limited to: • Mobile people in urban centres, e.g. migrants, merchants, vagrants, enslaved people, minstrels, mendicants, and pilgrims. • The exchange of goods and knowledge. • Transitory urban events and performances that moved bodies and minds, including social uprisings, civic performances, dances and urban processions. • Lack of 'movement: considerations of what it means to stay put and belong in a city or to be forced to remain in a city. This is an interdisciplinary and international Colloquium which offers an opportunity for PhD students and early career scholars to share their research through 20-minute long presentations, and to receive feedback through constructive discussion. Established scholars will also be invited to present their research and methods and to contribute to discussion. There will also be opportunities for all participants to continue the conversation over coffee and lunch. Interested applicants are encouraged to send an abstract of 200 words along with a short bio to Ana Roda Sánchez (Queen Mary University of London), Eliot Benbow (Institute of Historical Research) and Emma Olson (University of Cambridge) in colloquiumcities@gmail.com by 31 January 2026. If you have any questions, please get in touch with us. We look forward to receiving your proposals and learning about your research!

@ktgerbs.bsky.social provides an essential link in understanding the creation of racialized slavery. She demonstrates how Christians—intentionally & not—tied bondage to status as a Christian and, ultimately, how this tied assumptions about the heathen to enslaved Black people.
