I very firmly believe this - and not just reading broadly in terms of historical period or approach either. There is so much brilliant work out there that reading will spark new thoughts on your own material, shift your perspectives, make you reconsider your methodologies, etc.

The 67th conference of the @catholicrs.bsky.social starts in a bit and looking at the programme it's striking how varied and exciting Catholic historical research can be: inner lives, migration, the nature of reality, friendship, reading practices, memory, micro/macro

Really pleased and proud to announce a new @ihr.bsky.social seminar - Migration and Mobility History. We want to cover migration across time and space and speak with colleagues across disciplines. If you're interested in attending/presenting, get in touch: www.history.ac.uk/news-events/...
