Last week, I went to #ABRE2025 with @silvaperez.bsky.social. We presented on the role of religion in discussions about free womb laws in the Netherlands, Spain and Brazil.

I found the other presentations during the panel about women in the transatlantic world very interesting and inspiring!

We are here at the #ABRE2025 conference in Salamanca with the @rm-project.bsky.social. Yesterday we caught an amazing talk by Mateusz Czarnota on Conceição Evaristo’s idea of #escrevivência: writing born from lived experience of Afro-descendent women. Inspiring for our work on #RacializedMotherhood

Ida stands in front of her PowerPoint presentation, which is currently on a slide about Dutch bills in the East Indies. She is wearing a pink jacket and a white conference nametag, and she looks up at the slide while she talks.

Project PhD student @idalvos.bsky.social recently presented her research at the 9th Global Meeting of Slavery Past, Present and Future, which was held at the @vuamsterdam.bsky.social. She talked about the role of religion in Dutch and Spanish free womb discussions in the 1850s and 1870s.
