Delighted to share the news of an upcoming public event organised by Queen Mary University and German Historical Institute of London. This event celebrates the 30th anniversary of the publication of ‘Communities of Violence’, by Prof David Nirenberg. This was a ground-breaking book that changed scholarly perspectives on religious violence and attitudes towards religious minorities in the late medieval and early modern periods. We are incredibly grateful to say that we will have Prof Nirenberg himself joining us and engaging in conversation with other scholars. They will discuss Prof Nirenberg’s work, its ongoing impact on the field, and the history of religious confrontations and religious persecution more broadly. We would like to warmly invite you all to join us for this event. It will take place on 14th April 2026, 5:30-7:30pm at the Art Workers’ Guild London. If you wish to attend, please register via the link provided. We look forward to welcoming as many of you as possible!

Late to the party but as @jasonheppler.org mentioned, I've been using Gemini for about 9 months now to transcribe 16th and 17th c. Italian legal documents. It does a solid job at providing context and will connect to historic events and families without my prompting. I've been surprised at accuracy.

Thrilled to chair and co-organize three EMoDiR panels at RSA San Francisco 2026 on The Devil and Dissent: from demonology and Reformation polemic to political demonization and gendered stage representations #RenTwitter #earlymodern #RenTwitter #earlymodern
Every class I took in college taught me something whether it was string theory (see #1, still can't explain it), the debates informing Protestant Reformation, and broadened my view on the world (#2 prof was a legend and I still think about his lectures and the the scape-chicken).
I was a high school drop out from suburban Kansas (long story) and for me, college was like being a kid in a candy store. Five classes I took:
1. Theoretical physics
2. Anthropology of East Asia
3. Japanese 1 and 2
4. From Goddesses to Witches: Women in Pre-modern Europe
5. Renaissance Philosophy
Recently I took a break from research, course prep, and *gestures around* to have a lovely conversation about my recently published book with Miranda Melcher at @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social You can now listen here! megaphone.link/NBNK8414335727
