A fantastic time (as always) at #RenSA26 San Francisco. Heard some great papers, saw friends and colleagues, and met interesting people. Exhausting + invigorating? Possible. #earlymodern #Renaissance #womenshistory #diplomacyhistory #earlymodernwomen
And immediately after the roundtable join us for an exciting panel on elite women's practices, examining material culture and exchange, equestrian practices and communication of royal majesty, and the roles of ambassadorial daughters in Spanish embassies! #RenSA26 #Rsa2026 #earlymodern

Legit, who wants to work on a women-through-prehistory timeslip computer game with me? I HAVE IDEAS
