It's been exactly a year since I defended my PhD at the @ensdelyon.bsky.social !
As anything French, it can be divided in three points: 1) trying keep the stress at bay by spending time in nature in Parc de la tête d'or, 2) D-DAY! and 3) well-earned unhealthy reward the day after.

Happy and honoured to attend the European Historical Economics Society conference at the Uni of Hohenheim as a finalist for the Gino Luzzatto PhD prize! I will talk about how studying pedlars can better our understanding of commercial change & the State's economic behaviour towards the poor.

Not the most flattering picture, but I now am officially affiliated to QMUL's school of history for a few months!

Apparemment E. Macron aime bien voyager dans le temps pour acheter des petits pois aux colporteurs du Lancashire

#HelloESR
Je suis historienne de la GB des 19e et 20e siècles. Je m'intéresse aux marchands ambulants (colporteurs, vendeurs de rue, etc), à leur encadrement policier et législatif.
Je commence un postdoc à l'Univ. d'Anvers sur le colportage au travers des autobiographies ouvrières britanniques.
