engraving of the interior of a grand hall packed with people in galleries. A throne can be seen at the far end and a court in the foreground.
Delighted to be returning to @bsecs.bsky.social in January 2026 on a panel with Chris Monaghan and Chiara Rolli talking about aspects of the trial of Warren Hastings.
We fully expect our chair to keep good order and, unlike the original, to prevent us from carrying on for 7 years...

Come join us in January 2026. This yearโs theme is Big and Small (though papers can be on any topic).
Iโve gone for comfort/discomfort + letter writing for my paper, with the Big/Small highlighting the stress placed on each in 18th c. letters.
