Medieval historian. Read-a-holic. Likes wolves, squirrels and polar bears. May discuss canon law without warning.

@DrLRoach @Stewart_Brookes Yes, absolutely: I'll drop him a line. Thanks for the head's up!

I am very much looking forward to this seminar series, which takes place online and in Paris at the Sorbonne and @IEAdeParis .

[Danica Summerlin @DJSummerlin]

@LizPappKamali So glad you enjoyed it!

A blog post I wrote for 'Historical Transactions' is now out, thinking about how we might like to reframe our understanding of Anglo-papal relations.

Thanks again to the @RoyalHistSoc & @ihr_history for supporting me during the final 6 months of my thesis!

@jwwsabapathy @ucl @UCLHistory @AnthropoceneUCL @UCLSocHistSci Congratulations! That's wonderful news.

Our co-sponsored #IMC2021 strand on 'Articulating legal and political boundaries' is on TODAY (s526, 626, 726, 826, 926). Come and here such wonders as @DJSummerlin @S_B_White @ifagersen, @KB_Neal and those (I think) not on twitter ....

[Danica Summerlin @DJSummerlin]

@DrLRoach @RichesTheo Aww, thanks guys :)

[Danica Summerlin @DJSummerlin]

Debuting in my online seminars this week: one Thomas Becket mug; or, as @SXMedievalist put it, probably the only one I'll ever justify buying because it mentions medieval canon law. (Penguin not for purchase.)

[Danica Summerlin @DJSummerlin]

@nicoblahh Looks delish! Glad you could give it a good home :)

There's something exciting about starting a semester in snow and knowing that it should, with any luck, end in sunshine.

[Danica Summerlin @DJSummerlin]

@CaoimheNicD @Pseudo_Isidore Oh goodness! At least there'll be some great gobbets for future iterations of the Becket course...

[Danica Summerlin @DJSummerlin]

@chr1s_2_far Even Google has decided this semester is too long.

[Danica Summerlin @DJSummerlin]

@A_spotted_nai Asda!

[Danica Summerlin @DJSummerlin]

Debating whether there's time before my next meeting to get to the post office. Probably, but 'sorry I'm late, I had to post some reindeer crumpets to my parents' is not the most compelling excuse if not.

[Danica Summerlin @DJSummerlin]

A fabulous paper talking about a fascinating database: a real treat! A definite upside of online seminars is being able to hear about research from such a long way away.

[Danica Summerlin @DJSummerlin]

Maps, databases, manuscripts, and canon law? What more could you want on a cold Wednesday evening...

[Danica Summerlin @DJSummerlin]

Week 10: long but, now, over. And, next week's shaping up to be filled with canon law (yay!), including a chance to catch up with a super-fun project I've consistently managed to miss hearing about in the last few years...
