On Wednesday, August 27, from 12-1 PM, I’ll be giving a lecture sponsored by the R.I.H.S. on race, criminality, and the archive in early New England and the Atlantic world at the Aldrich House. If you’re in Providence, do consider attending! Registration link: www.simpletix.com/e/murder-mem...

For an app that I only (reluctantly) joined to see what everyone’s reading / writing / publishing across #vastearlyamerica, I thought it appropriate that my first post be a photo from SHEAR where I had the privilege to present in excellent company, including the brilliant Joanne Pope Melish.
