an #AdoreSnails for you Dr Liz Oakley-Brown @earlymodatlancs

Pleased to see my new article on transatlantic Quaker motherhood is now available to read online Journal of Early Modern History part of a special issue on Global Protestantisms: brill.com/view/journals/…. Thanks to Patrick S. McGhee and Kat Hill for editing.

'Universities don’t operate in siloes with arts and STEM separated.' Collaboration between humanities and sciences is 'mutually beneficial' in the rapidly evolving creative sector says Newcastle University Adam Behr. theconversation.com/uks-creative-i…

So, Belgian colleagues, I'll be in Leuven on fellowship from late May to late June, staying in the Grootbegijnhof. What should I not miss (cultural, gastronomic, natural) while I'm there?

Je vais vous apprendre à resquiller l'entrée de l'expo Cathares à Toulouse.
-Enfilez un sweatshirt blanc à capuche Decathlon
-prenez un air sérieux et affairé
-Quand la personne à l'entrée vous interpelle, bredouillez un truc en latin (carpe diem, carthago delenda est)
-voila.

This 100% is a deliberate trolling of each Franciscan friar; no doubt the museum staff have a little chuckle every time a man in a brown robe gets all riled up about those bastards in black&white getting in for free. Every Dominican waves sarcastically from inside the exhibition.

deeply excited about this! Two faves in conversation, what a treat. #earlymodern #twitterstorians

A thread about the arrest of Prof. Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian:

Our branch also wrote to Jo Grady & Justine Mercer UCU President, urging UCU to call for the release of Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian and enabling of diplomatic access. #FreeNadera

So many layers of 🤬

The final layer: the layer of him knowing he'll have an audience which laps up this odiousness as well as the audience of every female academic who's made to feel just a little smaller & just a little more scared.

May he&his misogynistic paper burn in hell.

Model letter, please UCU branches add your voices to call for the release (now in line with a judge's order though not yet enacted) of our colleague Prof. Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian. #FreeNadera

Calling on UCU and Queen Mary University of London to speak out against this silencing of our colleague. Please call for her release and diplomatic access with utmost urgency. #FreeNadeera

I should have realised from the absence of about 162 out-of-office notifications that the email wasn't actually sent earlier this week... (did NOT know about the limit on outlook).

This is going to be brilliant! Do join! #earlymodern #twitterstorians

Just received the first copies of 'Massacre in the Clouds' - by far the hardest book I've worked on. It uncovers the story of the Bud Dajo Massacre through a single photograph and as such the book itself can be considered a 100.000-word caption.

Beside myself. Thank you so so so much

I try to be less here.

The fact that I saw that tweet and though 'Derek is going to appreciate the shape & drape' tells me that plan isn't exactly put into action properly...
