Talk #2, at the Insitut français de Pondichéry, was also well received! Great to learn about scholars whose research touches on similar themes: labour & gender in the Indian Ocean, ships & tacit knowledge. Merci beaucoup!

The Dept. of History at Pondicherry University gave us a very warm welcome on Friday. It was an honour to meet the deans, faculty, and delightful students. People asked great questions!

Exciting news! Two of our team are heading to India to share findings from our project, and (with luck!) to dip our toes into the archives. We are grateful for the warm welcome from Pondicherry University and the Institut Français de Pondichéry.

I'll be presenting a snippet from my @sailingwthefrench.bsky.social project -- 2 enigmatic figures on the same French merchant ship in 1755, one travelling with her 3-year-old daughter (+ a splendid wardrobe); the other a devout, poetry-loving carpenter. What can we learn about their lives?
