The talk will take place in the Wolfson Room NB02 at Senate House. For those coming to Senate House for the first time, we've attached a map that shows the two nearest stations – Russell Square and Goodge Street, we're only 1-2 stops away from Euston and King's Cross for anyone outside of town!

Misha’s first monograph, The Virginia Venture: American Colonization and English Society, 1580-1660, was published in 2022. Her current research focuses on the role of women in the development of colonisation and racial slavery in seventeenth-century Barbados.

After a PhD in History at UCL, she took up posts at the University of Kent and the University of Manchester, and was a Curator for Inclusive History at Historic Royal Palaces between 2021and 2022.

As ever, do register online to attend! (If you find yourself free at the last minute and want to join, please come anyway, as we can always find extra chairs ☺️)

Prior to joining Exeter, Emily was a Research Fellow at the University of Birmingham and also at the University of Leeds. She held the 2018/19 Thornley Junior Fellowship at the IHR and completed her PhD at Queen Mary University of London. She was also a researcher for Horrible Histories!

Emily will draw from her recently published monograph, on domestic religion and the life cycle in early modern London, to consider both Christian and Jewish practices, comparing the experiences of Catholics, Sephardi and Ashkenazi Jews, Huguenots, and conforming and nonconforming Protestants alike.

We’re also thrilled to introduce Emily Vine as one of our new convenors at SCB! Emily is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Exeter on the Leverhulme Project 'The Material Culture of Wills, England 1540-1790’.

If you’ve forgotten to sign-up or should the event read as fully booked, do just turn up anyway, as we can always find extra chairs!! ☺️

Lyndal Roper’s talk will also be preceded by a brief session marking Michael Hunter’s retirement from active involvement with the seminar ✨

We’ll be holding the event in room 243, on the Second Floor of Senate House, Malet Street, in London. For those who haven’t been before, this is how to get there: maps.app.goo.gl/7A4q39Mjo8tH... We also have an online option this year for those further afield!

Thank you!! ☺️ If it helps at all, we're experimenting this year with some hybrid events, so all three of our events this term are also accessible via Zoom! (We appreciate that this doesn't solve any issues that might arise from time difference though.)
