So very happy and excited to share that I’ve been awarded a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship to join the @warburginstitute.bsky.social for the next three years!🎉I'll be carrying out a project titled "European Translations of African Christianity: Ethiopian Religion through Humanist Writings"

Job Opportunity!

Call for applications 📢 The GHI London-India Research Programme and the @mwfdelhi.bsky.social invite applications for their joint fellowship for early career scholars whose research is situated in the broad field of the British Empire and the History of Colonialism! 1/3

When I pointed out King’s will lose 90% of its AHRC student-led places under the new scheme, I got piled on by the AHRC Chair claiming I was wrong and scaremongering. It wasn’t quite 90%. This year King’s students got 27 AHRC student-led scholarships. Next year they’re giving us 3. So 89% then.

I think the comments in the replies are spot on! Even if a plenary is focused on something quite narrow/specific, I think it should say something about ‘where we are now’ in relation to the conference theme (ideally mentioning talks/discussion at the conference!) and ‘where we should go next’.

But I LOVE hearing new stuff, the you-heard-it-here-first vibe, breaking news, especially if there's an acknowledgement of the labour of scholarship, a long story with a happy ending! And sometimes a plenary who is willing to speak out and speak up for shared values or burning concerns 3/3

📣We are delighted to announce that Sara Caputo (@saracaputo.bsky.social) has been appointed as an Editor of The Historical Journal! Caputo is a specialist in maritime history, imperial history and the history of medicine, and we are thrilled that she is lending her expertise to the journal📘

Great write-up about the historic exhibition & analysis by the wonderful ‪@hips-project.bsky.social‬ team of 2 Great Bibles @qmul.bsky.social @theul.bsky.social Charmed that amidst all cool science instruments, "putting the two books in the same place" proves actually a superhelpful analytical tool
