Heading to Fribourg🇨🇭in mid-May for a phenomenal seminar on time and writing in early modern almanacs, organised by Vitus Huber. Another chance to revisit my PhD dissertation (2018), where I first developed and introduced archaeology of care as an interpretative method.

Some news!
I am writing a book about everyday bewitchment using, among other records, Napier's casebooks, which I spent four years transcribing.
I want to move away from sensationalist narratives.
I am super glad to have met Fabienne who is amazing.
I've had a can of Red Bull to celebrate.
