I've never really used LinkedIn, as it was always a very privacy-averse place, but they'll now also be hoovering up your personal data to train GenAI models (as per their new T&Cs). The fact that this is opt-out rather than opt-in speaks volumes.

For @imc-leeds.bsky.social, I created two maps that highlight the explosion of census-taking in the Low Countries before vs. after the mid-15th century. This development follows Burgundian hearth count reforms but is also present in areas outside Burgundian rule. #MedievalSky

Conference season is starting: this Monday I'll be presenting at @imc-leeds.bsky.social and at the end of the month at #wehc2025 in Lund. At the IMC I will focus on the relationship between census taking and territorialisation in the late medieval Low Countries. #medievalsky #imc2025
