Lyndal Roper’s talk held this ADHD perimenopausal brain’s focus for a full 45 minutes this evening at @ihrscb.bsky.social! I cannot tell you what a feat that is. German peasants’ revolt, turbulence, Cranach, Dürer, and the lasting psychological effect of the uprising.

If you know you're coming, please do register via the link in our original post. (It helps us gauge numbers.) If the booking form reads as fully booked, don't let this put you off and do feel free to turn up anyway – we can typically always find extra chairs!
To those who haven't been to the seminar before, it is open to all – that is, to all historians of career stages, but also to the general public. It's a great opportunity to meet and chat, and we often continue the discussion over drinks/refreshments in the IHR common room ☕ or over dinner. 🥂
The event is in person, in IHR Seminar Room N304, Third Floor, IHR, Senate House, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HU. For those of you who haven't been before, Senate House is about as centrally located as you can get in London – so easy to get to if you’re planning to be in London that day.
