I was fortunate to be able to co-author a book chapter with @skidwayy.bsky.social on the topic of imperial intersections in the current historiography of science and religion, charting some new paths forward for the field!

Congrats to the editors and other contributors on the new publication 😀📚😀

Back from my recent research trip to Ghana and it’s been quite a fun but busy few weeks there! Got to see many things and also definitely need to go back to see many other things 🇬🇭😆

Just been at Kew Gardens this week for some archival research and got to check out the awesome exhibition by
