A few days late to the party but I am excited to say I've been accepted for #IMC2026 as part of the fantastic Loyalty in the Medieval World network. I'll be giving a talk on cool rebellion related stuff to see if attitudes towards them changed with time, and I'm moderating a session too (spooky)!

All my sessions have been accepted for the #IMC2026. 😊 'The Reckoning of Time in Medieval Scandinavia' with Dr Adrián Rodríguez Avila, and a double 'Envisioning the Times: Writing the Past and Shaping the Future in 13th-Century Norway' with Mary O'Connor! #medievalsky #oldnorse

Yes, the rumours are true (sorry). I'm back at Leeds next July for #IMC2026, speaking on praemunire no less, nearly a decade after I completed the PhD. No, I don't know how it's been a decade. And no, I haven't published the book yet. Have you been speaking to my old PhD supervisor?

Almost forgot to say, but I'll be talking about peasant women and customary law in Hampshire at #imc2026! Looking forward to seeing people there!

Also, while I'm here, you'd better all not be too hungover at IMC 2026 because you're all obviously attending my Thursday 9am paper. (Pray for me).

I'm a bit late to the party, but very happy to see the Constructing Masculinities sessions accepted. Looking forward to a day of fantastic new research on #premodern #masculinities @imc-leeds.bsky.social #IMC2026

See you in July! @imc-leeds.bsky.social #IMC2026

Delighted to say I’ll be presenting in session 1348 at @imc-leeds.bsky.social IMC 2026! #imc2026

Looking forward to a rather busy Leeds! Delighted by the set of panels organised with @jakestattel.bsky.social! @imc-leeds.bsky.social #IMC26

We are very excited to announce that the DoSSE project will be sponsoring four panels on slavery at #IMC2026 in Leeds, on Tues 7 July, featuring Merovingian, Sasanian, East Roman, Armenian, Visigothic, Islamic, Jewish & Venetian sources - and more! More details in due course.

Looking forward to rocking up at #imc2026 to talk about all the fun (and surprising!) things you can find in the wills of single men across early modern England, alongside other fascinating talks on fatherhood, masculinity, and emotions on the Constructing Masculinities Panel.

Due to the funding we have received from the National Research Foundation of South Africa, we are delighted to be able to offer a limited number of fee waivers for online attendance on a first-come, first-served basis! This means that you can attend all our conference events ONLINE for FREE!

Make sure you book a late train home on Thursday to be able to see all three panels on Old English in the 19th Century at #IMC2026!

It's been so lovely seeing everyone posting their 'I've been Accepted to IMC 2026' postcards! 🥰 This is your one week reminder that you have until Monday 08 December to get any acceptance changes for the #IMC2026 Programme to the IMC Team at [email protected]! 🐴⚔ #MedievalSky #SkyStorians

Looking forward to being back at @imc-leeds.bsky.social this summer! Can’t wait to share some highlights from my Big Scary Pontifical Spreadsheet with the world!

Thrilled to be presenting at #IMC2026 alongside some really excellent papers on policing the premodern urban environment! Expect lots of court leet rolls, dung heaps, and blocked gutters! @imc-leeds.bsky.social

So glad that our sessions on premodern race got accepted! @medievalgeorgie.bsky.social @imc-leeds.bsky.social Can't wait for #IMC2026! 🤗

Delighted to be returning to the @imc-leeds.bsky.social in 2026 - quite a busy one this year, too! I'll be joined by my good friends @karanthir.bsky.social and @history-w-hilbert.bsky.social across 2 panels dedicated to the Early Medieval Frisians, perhaps a first for the IMC!

Super excited to have the new strand "Future Insight and Its Discontents in Late Antiquity and Early Middle Ages (200–900 CE)" accepted for next year's @imc-leeds.bsky.social! Come join us on Thursday, 9 July

Excited to announce my first ever panel at #IMC2026! 🎉 Our session, 'Negotiating Masculinity in Eastern Orthodoxy', brings together papers from @nick-mayhew.bsky.social, Orlen Crawford (co-organiser) and myself, with @maroulix.bsky.social as moderator. @imc-leeds.bsky.social @leedsims.bsky.social

#IMC2026, Weds, 8 July, 7pm! Four medievalists who've published 'trade' books will discuss the process - from finding an agent to working with publishers & beyond.

Tuesday 7th July 2026 at @imc-leeds.bsky.social is going to be Jinty Nelson appreciation/memorial day, with confirmation of 4 sessions and a roundtable in her honour.

Super excited to see that the sessions that Birgit Wiedl and I organised for @imc-leeds.bsky.social have been accepted! Four panels, and a round table, considering Jews and Christians in medieval Europe!

I'm really delighted to say that the three sessions that a group of us have proposed for Leeds IMC 2026 in celebration of Prof Edward James and his many contributions not just to the history and archaeology of the early Middle Ages but also to the academic study of fantasy and sf have been accepted!

It was so amazing to hear a preview of the papers just before this exciting news came out! Yay for PresentDead and yay for getting a Tuesday! Anyone interested in interactions with the dead, come to our session at the next @imc-leeds.bsky.social !!

Ich freue mich sehr, heute erfahren zu haben, dass ich am #IMC26 teilnehmen darf. 😁

Just received the news that I'll be at the #IMC2026, where I'll be able to talk about the bit of my research that I probably like the most: How villagers tried to care for their animals - including stuff ranging from bizarre to cute and genuinely touching. Details and abstract below ⬇️ #envhist

Looking forward to #IMC2026, where I'll be talking on a theme at the heart of the #PresentDead project, by poking at early #medieval laws on grave re-opening ☠️🪏✨ (And very happy to note that it is session 643 - the same year that the Edictus Rothari was issued!)

The Lombards are travelling through Time (not via TARDIS) to @imc-leeds.bsky.social for 2026! Especial thanks to @samdrowe.bsky.social and Kaiyue Zhang for their significant efforts in bringing this together. We can't wait to see you all!

Excited to be going to #IMC2026 - missed it last year & only attended one day in 2024. Would love to meet up with friends old & new!

Excited to be presenting (virtually) about heresy pop culture medievalism at IMC next summer! #IMC2026

Looks like I’m gonna be very busy at #IMC2026 @imc-leeds.bsky.social We’ve got comics, dragons, and Old Norse galore! #medievalsky #comics

Welcome on #medievalsky ☺️!

Rumours of my return to the IMC are true.

Happy to be in some exciting sessions, but worried what I’ve done to upset the Leeds gods. Third year in a row that I have been given a Thursday paper 😭

Delighted to be heading to @imc-leeds.bsky.social with a very full dance card - don’t miss Dan Reeve and I’s four sessions on queer and trans temporalities ! 🏳️‍⚧️⏰ #imc2026

Fill your castle boots next summer at @imc-leeds.bsky.social #IMC2026. Looking forward to all of these, as well as a tour of mighty Middleham Castle for folk who haven’t quite had their fill of fortifications.

The annual pilgrimage to @imc-leeds.bsky.social is back for another year - now with 20% more gentry anxieties.
