In thrilling news I have secured one of the new desks at the National Archives in Kew - it's so roomy 😍

It was great to be in Maynooth this weekend for @frenchcolonial.bsky.social 2026. Got to hear from so many 17/18/19th century experts and also find out more about 15th century Ireland at Maynooth Castle (and beat the London heatwave for a while 🥵)

Thanks so much to the organisers at Uni Bayreuth and Universidade Nova de Lisboa. Alongside our discussions we also had a wonder tour of the Palacio Nacional in Sintra

I had the honour of attending this year's Summer Academy of Atlantic History. It was amazing to meet other PhDs - the future of the field looks so exciting!

I had the privilege of visiting this exhibition in Lisbon on Saturday - it was beautiful as well as informative and thoughtfully put together. Showcasing family stories from the African diaspora in Portugal and reflecting on the histories of migration in Portugal. shorturl.at/13liw
