I know the world is on fire, but can you help a girl graduate? She needs way more people to fill out her dissertation survey. You can fill it out if you're Black/AA and have ever been in grad school! If not, you can help by sharing!

We are early career scholars focused on material culture who feel like we don't need permission to create our own consortium, hold events, and generally take up space as we face a precarious academic job market. Website coming soon! #AcademicSky #Medieval #WhatsHistory #EarlyModern

Green cover of the book 'Servants Abroad: Travel Journals by British Working People, 1765โ€“1798'. The image shows an 18th-century caricature of a male servant carrying books and wine.

My edition of four travel journals by 18th-c servants is out now, including accounts of France, Italy, the Low Countries, Germany and the Ottoman Empire by three valets and a maid โ€“ the majority of people who went on the 'Grand Tour' #skystorians #18thc #c18th global.oup.com/academic/pro...

For every noble or gentleman who did the 'Grand Tour', there was one or more servants who did it with them, but these men and women have been mostly invisible and unheard.

@richardjansell.bsky.social's new edition finally gives us access to their perspectives and their #WrittenWorlds!
