Back to what has become over the last three years another home.

It was a pleasure presenting a paper this morning based on my recent work on political sociability (derived from a dissertation chapter section) at Warwick’s PG History Conference.

A pleasure as always to hear you present your work Chloe!

Check out this fantastic conference on early modern work - @annajpravdica.bsky.social has put together an absolute stellar lineup!

Thrilled that I have been awarded a Lewis Walpole Travel Grant which will support two weeks of research later this year trawling through their eighteenth century private correspondence and manuscripts collections in Connecticut!

Are you at the start of your PhD? Want to tell an eager and engaged audience about it in 5 mins? We want to hear the best PGR research about 18th Britain at our #LightningTalks event May 14 2025.

Please see the poster for further information, and please spread the word!

Bottom right was the one that had me confused! 🤦‍♂️ Was also wondering whether the one above was black flag or not!

The 18th century Assassins Creed games are the main ones I can think of that are missing from your collage. Bloodstained and the Case of the Golden Idol are two others off the top of my head

While I didn’t present a paper (due to my ongoing moratorium), it was fantastic to attend the @bsecs.bsky.social annul conference this week at Pembroke College Oxford. It’s always a joy to meet fellow 18th century scholars and to hear insights from the cutting edge of the field.
