A great experience to attend the #GCFHSResist! Amazing to have presented my paper on 16th century Sens with
@sianhibbert.bsky.social, Sukhwan Kang, and Allan Tulchin on our 'Religious Tension, Resistance, and Opposition in EM France' panel. Truly thankful to meet/catch-up with other academics!

#GCFHSResist It was such a pleasure to meet/catch up with so many wonderful scholars in French history! Although French history/history/academia faces so many challenges, there is an abundance of kindness and generosity within the community that will help us face those challenges together.

#GCFHSResist Greatly enjoying hearing from @sianhibbert.bsky.social and @acollins16c.bsky.social as part of a session on "Religious Tension, Resistance, & Opposition in Early Modern France"! Sian is currently sharing some wonderful conflicts between priests and parishioners in C17th Languedoc
#GCFHSResist Day three! Enjoying a session on "The Right to Resistance: Negotiating Opposition & Law across the Long 18th Century" – some wonderful doctoral research presented by Conor Muller and Amelie Hawker
#GCFHSResist "It's a job lottery, not a job market"
A sobering session on the academic job market in the USA – the number of tenure-track positions on offer is truly plummeting, and positions increasingly require teaching far outside one's field

A great first day of the ‘Building Peace’ conference of the Transitional Conference here at Groningen. Fascinating talks about ideas and actors of peace and justice, and how lessons of the 1970s can be applied to the early modern period. More talks tomorrow, including my talk first thing…

I had a great time taking my ‘Imagining the City’ students on walking tour of Tübingen so that they could see the key concepts we discussed in class put into action. They seemed to have had a great time so as they ‘imagined’ the functionality of early modern cities #history #earlymodern #urban

Great to have visited Esslingen the other day. Not only was it extremely charming, but it happened to be the main case study for one of my favourite books of early modern urban history #earlymodern #urbanhistory
