Happening this week @ucph.bsky.social: the international conference“Religious embodiment and conversion practices in early modern Europe and beyond, 1500-1800” ✨

Elizabeth Heyrick and the concept of “immediacy” in abolitionist thought Heyrick’s call for immediate abolition urged women to act from home, linking faith to social reform.

Back in December I wrote a short commentary on Elizabeth Heyrick and the concept of “immediacy” in abolitionist (and reformist) thought for the UK-based Elizabeth Heyrick Society which does amazing work in keeping her legacy alive.
