Saying goodbye to the beautiful venue of #Haskins2025 after two and a half days of brilliant papers and even better conversations over coffee and drinks. Eagerly looking forward to the next one.

And that, joyfully and sadly, is a wrap for the 44th International Conference of the Haskins Society. A great inaugural year at the University of Miami, our home for another two years. #Haskins2025 ##medievalsky

I’m excited that the Haskins Society has moved to a hybrid conference. I’ve never been able to make it to one (and can’t attend this yearβ€˜s) but will be present virtually next year. I planned to submit an abstract for a paper for 2026 but, alas, missed the deadline.

I'll be briefly presenting in the New Research Forum tomorrow morning on my (relatively) recent dissertation turn towards the environment as a key component of early medieval landscape research around the firths.
