That moment when the print copy arrives! It was such a pleasure to work with so many talented historians and I am humbled by the blurbs on the back from scholars I hold in such high esteem. Available from @lsupress

With so many others, grieving the too-soon death of Elizabeth Mancke of @UNBFredericton. I owe her many debts of gratitude, not least the many hours in her office (every conversation somehow turning to Portugal), a model of expansive scholarship, and compassion when most needed.

@madamekirk Why is this even a story? Some people have a lot of time on their hands.

[Robert Englebert @englebert_r]

Lots of work to do still, but this is a positive development. https://t.co/L4I7pXl9cF

And that’s a wrap. 10 days of research in Seville. Amazing city and a big thank you to some of the nicest archival staff I’ve ever worked with!

@BenjaminBryce2 It is nice and cool right now.

Feeling very fortunate to be researching in this beautiful place.

Holly Brewer @earlymodjustice uses a 1770 board game called The Royal Geographical Pastime to emphasize to her students the cultural assumptions of British subjects from the period. Read about it here: https://t.co/4U2u7IOBB2
