You've made it when the workshop you co-organised is advertising in the local brasserie. Fantastic keynote by Klaus Weber to open the 'Mighty Ocean – Inland Sea. Connections and Comparisons between the Atlantic and the Baltic, c. 1450-1850' workshop in Greifswald. Looking forward to tomorrow.

There's a call for papers going round everybody! Pleased to announce the BASEES Study Group on the Baltic States' third annual workshop on 30-31 August in Glasgow, welcoming submissions from postgrads and early career researchers.

Just about caught me before I left, but I was very glad to sit down with dean of the University of Warsaw history faculty, Łukasz Niesiołowski-Spanò, to chat about my research, the early modern Baltic, life in Poland, global history and fascination with historical failure. youtu.be/ZmQlbPrANiQ?...

Thank you all for coming to our panel on Baltic land reforms @CBSE 2025 Cambridge! Nothing more exciting than geographers, sociologists and historians looking at cultural outputs, oral history archival materials, and historical legacies together. Looking forward to CBSE Tartu 2027!

Off to the Netherlands by train from Warsaw for #esshc2025 in Leiden. Looking forward to giving my presentation tomorrow morning!

Happy to announce that my article 'The Colonial Endeavours of the Duchy of Courland, 1642–1698: A Forgotten Example of German Colonialism?' is up on the German History Journal website for all those who can access a subscription to them: doi.org/10.1093/gerh... #Courland #colonial #Baltic #Germany
