A great experience to attend the #GCFHSResist! Amazing to have presented my paper on 16th century Sens with
@sianhibbert.bsky.social, Sukhwan Kang, and Allan Tulchin on our 'Religious Tension, Resistance, and Opposition in EM France' panel. Truly thankful to meet/catch-up with other academics!

#GCFHSResist It was such a pleasure to meet/catch up with so many wonderful scholars in French history! Although French history/history/academia faces so many challenges, there is an abundance of kindness and generosity within the community that will help us face those challenges together.

I had a great time taking my โ€˜Imagining the Cityโ€™ students on walking tour of Tรผbingen so that they could see the key concepts we discussed in class put into action.

Great to have visited Esslingen the other day. Not only was it extremely charming, but it happened to be the main case study for one of my favourite books of early modern urban history #earlymodern #urbanhistory
