Excited to speak to a joint meeting of Warwick's Global History & Culture and Early Modern & Eighteenth-Century Centres, on Thursday 1 May at 1pm. My first time posing some new historiographical questions about multilingual cities and early modernity. I'm also reliably informed there will be pizza.

I likewise felt very honoured to be included in this amazing lineup of scholars! Excellent work all-round.

This is both an incredibly niche thing but I think it should be more of a thing. Caffè Nero subscribes to the British Newspaper Archive so it’s all free on their wifi. There. I said it.

Hi #VastEarlyAmerica historians! Does anyone know who first invented the ticket system to control the movement of enslaved people? Was it the Spanish or the Portuguese? If so, where and when? This could be a good topic to explore the circulation of policing techniques between empires.

I’m really looking forward to presenting my thesis work at Warwick in February!

There are still a few weeks left in the year (though December is generally a quiet month for book proposals), but it looks like I’m going to close out 2024 with around 80% of total book proposals coming from men, 18% from women, and 2% from persons whose gender was not apparent/obvious.

Historiography question: is there a chronology to borderlands/borderland studies, and more specifically is there a point at which borderlands stop being that and become something else? Post WWII maybe?
