A lovely surprise in the mail yesterday - my first peer-reviewed article in print! Thank you to Anglican & Episcopal History for such a positive first publishing experience!
The digital publication should be out soon!

I'm excited to announce that my research image won People's Choice and received an honourable mention from the judges! Thank you to everyone who voted for my image!

I recently entered a contest to share a photo that represents my research. Voting is open and I would love to have your vote! (I'm the only Hannah on the list).

Grad students new to London, the Summer School was so helpful and fun!! It opened my eyes to new perspectives for my research! And the theme is so exciting!

A Chancery case I’m looking at from the 1650s has two parties fighting over custody of a “Spleene Stone” worth £10. I’ve never heard of a spleen stone before! Does anyone have any insights? OED says: a stone supposed to cure disorders of the spleen. But could it also be related to anger issues?

New on the IHR Blog! Read about our #London #SummerSchool 2024 on 'Rivers' - including video, and participant feedback. And discover more about our upcoming 2025 London Summer School on #Rebels.

Had an absolutely fabulous time at #BLHC2024 So many amazing and inspiring papers and just a lovely bunch of people who made my first time in the UK a great experience! Also, the venues were beautiful!!
