#Renaissance #earlymodern colleagues going to RSA next month? Sarah Dyer and I are very excited about our panel testaments and women's agency that Sat; business history, material culture, patronage, social networks, diplomatic. #RSA2025 #research #DigitalHumanities

I scrapped the reading my #history class was going to do for Monday; as a treat for taking their first exam, we're going to have some fun with #earlymodern #Renaissance #paleography. Chat about hands, scripts, ink, paper parchment; there are some easier ones and then some challenges 😆

Just having fun with early modern social networks. #Renaissance #earlymodern #skystorians #digitalhumanities

A preview of what my students will be covering this week. #teaching #skystorians #earlymodern

Thinking about proposing a panel on the diverse strategies of #medieval #earlymodern women in diplomacy for AHA 2026 meeting in Chicago. Any #skystorians interested? Patronage, embassies, family networks, petitioning, mediation, etc.

Quite excited to teach this semester - if nothing else, I get to revisit some favorites. #dissertation #teaching #gradschool

Love it when my subjects from completely different projects all meet up in the same place! #skyhistorians #Renaissance #earlymodern #phd #dissertation

The embassy of Alonso de Velasco is such a fascinating case study for the development of Spanish female diplomacy in England. Finding more pieces of the puzzle even when I am looking for something else entirely 🤗

Another portrait obsession. Clearly related to one of Queen Isabel of Bourbon. Documents identify the sitter as Juana de Salinas or Casilda de Campo: either a Spanish ambassador's mother or wife 😃 Might need a trip to Dublin? "Portrait of a Spanish Noblewoman," c. 1620, National Gallery of Ireland.

What I do when I am not writing my dissertation: I bake… a lot. Bread last week, lemon cake yesterday, and kouign-amann today. Thankfully I have family willing to share all of it 🤗
