The marked qualitative decline of this platform means that I am spending a lot less time here. From now on this channel will carry occasional links to upcoming events, publications, my writing and research. You can find me on the platform Bl*e Sky

I am very sorry to hear of the passing of my PhD supervisor at Cambridge Professor David Abulafia. A very talented historian as well as a great supervisor and mentor who gave me sound career advice when I needed it. May his memory be a blessing. https://t.co/1fsZOo7gQT

Segles després continua sol en un desert de pergamí, sense la companyia d'una anotació, d'un dibuix, d'un gargot… La seua solitud fou respectada, però no sabem si la desitjava.
