Doing some late night marking and glad to see one of my students has marked their own work... they believe they deserve a 2:1 in each category 😂😂 Hopefully they'll be glad to know I disagree and their work is stronger!

Following from my last post, I thought I should share the subject of the talks that have made me animated! I would also like to thank @swwdtp.bsky.social for all their support during my last couple of presentations!

I have been travelling around the UK (and Europe) recently speaking about my research. A couple of observations have been made regarding me...

What an incredible couple of days! It was a real pleasure to host such amazing speakers on a wide variety of topics relating to conflict and violence in the early modern period 🗡️ Thank you to everyone who spoke, attended and supported us, and especially to our sponsors @swwdtp.bsky.social !

Once again, we thank you all for your support. And especially the organisers, Dylan Neill Andrés @dylanneill.bsky.social , Teoni Passereau @teonipassereau.bsky.social, Tom Gayton and Padmanabha Reddy Addula. We hope to see you all again in future editions of the conference! 🗡️⚓⚔️🏴‍☠️

Who doesn't love an action shot of you speaking at a conference courtesy of your Mum? 😂

Day two of the conference complete! With some excellent panels and speakers, day two was completely filled with some amazing papers on Privateering, Methodology, Naval Violence, Representations of Violence on the Stage, and England's relations with her Neighbours in the Late Seventeenth Century.

Day one complete of the Conflict, War and Violence in the Early Modern World conference! Had some very insightful talks covering a variety of topics! The day finished with a fantastic talk from Professor Mark Stoyle followed by a walking tour of the city walls! I look forward to tomorrow!

Just two days to go! If you haven't already, remember that you can still register to attend as a non-speaker - it's free, and you can join us online or in-person and for as many or as few panels as you like ⚔️ Register here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Excited to be able to share the programme of events for our upcoming conference at the end of this month! Hope to see some of you there!

I won't let a pending deadline stop me from heading to London on a coach to attend an IHR seminar 💁‍♀️

I was invited to co-organise this upcoming conference being held later this month at the University of Exeter. With two days of exciting talks and panels, plus a walking historical tour of Exeter and a group dinner, I'd highly recommend coming along if you can!

Registration is now open! Join us this Halloween for a conference full of (historical) blood, conflict and violence 🩸We're hugely grateful to all who have submitted proposals and can't wait to see you all soon! 🗡️ Keep an eye out for the full programme, and register here: forms.gle/be4TAxmG9SVX...

Please help us share the call for papers for this exciting conference I am co-organising this autumn! 📜 We welcome submissions from anyone looking at any aspect of early modern violence, particularly those looking beyond military history, and those who would not call themselves historians at all 🗡️⚓

We are thrilled to announce that the Conflict, War and Violence in the Early Modern World Conference, with a keynote address by Professor Mark Stoyle, will be held on 30-31 October at the University of Exeter. Please help us spread the world, and consider submitting a proposal!🗡️

#KQ14 has started! A fantastic keynote from Ana Maria Rodrigues on our historical protagonist Leonor de Lencastre and a wine reception has set the tone beautifully. Looking forward to four days of the latest #royalstudies scholarship from our wonderful international colleagues in the field!

A little bit late in the day but I had to jump on here to acknowledge the 365th anniversary of the Restoration of Charles II, which fell on his 30th birthday. This anniversary is especially important for me at the moment as I am currently writing a paper about his restoration!

After strict instructions from my supervisor to take breaks and have some more fun within my schedule, I decided to spend Easter Sunday doing what I love... visiting historical places of interest 😊

Finally decided to join the community!
