I am thrilled to announce that the first postdoc position of my ERC project UNSEEN at Oxford is now live!

This is a three-year post for an Iberian historian who will be working on slavery and Islamic material culture in the early modern Mediterranean.

As part of our #COSTAction General Meeting in February, some members of #CA23137 had the rare opportunity to visit the Kinsky Library within Prague’s Old Town Square.
The visit was much enjoyed and will no doubt inspire future research projects amongst our members!

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 – the majority of people who went on the 'Grand Tour' #skystorians #18thc #c18th global.oup.com/academic/pro...
