First day back at my desk after #BSECS2025 last week. Had a great time sharing the first snippets of research into Lady Mary Wortley Montagu's now dispersed collection of 250+ books.

Just about decompressed from #BSECS2025... Feeling lucky to have been on a panel with these guys and to have had some time to explore Oxford. Back in Newcastle now, researching more female coal mine owners, and more!

The start to the academic year has been busy, mainly because I had the pleasure of having a week in Oxford to do some archival research and to attend the #BSECS2025 @bsecs.bsky.social annual conference. It was a chance to share my research in a new forum.

#BSECS2025 was wonderful! Someone told me they like my name, an unexpected but very welcome compliment, and thought that it fits my topic (18th-c Denmark) well. With the conference done, I'm gonna catch up on sleep and get the seminar and lecture posters ready for @oxscandistudies.bsky.social
