@noahsutter.bsky.social spends his Christmas break reading "Midaq Alley". Naguib Mahfouz describes the (economic) life in an eponymous Cairo back street, teeming with barbers, innkeepers, businessmen, dentists etc., at the threshold to a new modern era. (10/10)
Once again, our department's PhD students met for the annual Book Secret Santa. Our students have proven that their reading tastes cover a wide range of genres, periods, and topics... Many of them feature a connection to economic history and economic themes. Let's dive in! (1/10)
Very honoured to have been interviewed by the London School of Economics and Political Science about my research.
I talk about the big questions that motivate me and the joys of finding treasures in archives.
Big thanks to LSE!

Gave the first lecture of my life! As part of our summer school "The Economic History of Inequality" here at @lseechist.bsky.social, I had the amazing opportunity to write and deliver a lecture on "Critical Junctures in the History of Inequality."
Huge thanks to Neil Cummins for the opportunity!
Had the great pleasure of presenting my research at this year’s World Economic History Congress in Lund, in the session on ‘The Political Economy of the French Revolution.’ What an amazing conference!
Huge thanks to @enguehard.bsky.social and Paul Maneuvrier-Hervieu for the invitation.
I‘ve just returned from 2.5 amazing months as a visiting PhD student at the Paris School of Economics.
I am endlessly grateful to PSE for hosting me. I had inspiring conversations, met my academic heroes, and left with a head full of new ideas. What an amazing school!
I had the honour of being admitted to the Freedom of the City of London by Lord Mayor, Alistair King. I am honoured to call myself a „Citizen of London“.
