Great to see Wautier get the exhibit she deserves! #EarlyModern www.nytimes.com/2025/09/29/a...

My blog for the @uniofstandrews.bsky.social Library Special Collections went live yesterday! It's a very short glimpse of the thousands of women whose lives I've been researching over the last 16 months.

Parents insist their kids go to college to get business degrees. Administrators respond by defunding the humanities and social sciences, while hiring business profs at ~2X what historians get paid. Meanwhile, businesses say over and over that they want to hire humanities and social science majors.

Vroegmoderne vrouwen: verleden tijd? Allerminst!

While I'm trying to figure out which platform to use for longer-form blog posts (recommendations welcome!), here's a short piece from a tangent I went on during dissertation research:

Being a historian means having your phone autocorrect "Merry Christmas" to "Merry Wiesner-Hanks".

A very Merry Wiesner-Hanks to you all!

MLitt dissertation officially done!

This was such a fun project to work on, and luckily I don't have to leave it behind just yet... 😊

What exactly is 'agency'? And how has women's agency figured in early modern cultural and economic history in recent decades? These are good questions! Happily, Merry Wiesner-Hanks has turned herself to the task of answering them in her article in issue 40.2 .
