Casually holding one of the documents that made Europe: the 1718 Treaty of Passarowitz. Borders redrawn, empires rebalanced, futures rewritten—on parchment. Archival research for my second book on imperial legacies, state formation, and the making of modern Europe.

Brilliance isn't just in the mind—it's also in the wardrobe. Excited to celebrate my advisor, James Robinson, on his birthday and his Nobel Prize win in Chicago this weekend!
