We finished our conference with a trip to Schloss Oranienbaum and Wörlitz to discuss the artwork and cultural materials at these sites! It was very interesting @DependencyBonn

Was wonderful working with these highly motivated participants and sharing ideas, practices and methodologies on intersectionality! Feeling very inspired and energised now. Thank you to the EUI for selecting me to lead a session😊

Had a wonderful time presenting at @DependencyBonn! I’m very grateful for the opportunity and have learnt so much from the amazing presentations. Everyone was so kind 🩷

Buzzing to have won this year's @HakluytSociety essay prize! I've long been fascinated by the Northwest Passage, so this was a great excuse to pair that up with a close analysis of shipboard relationships on long-distance voyages (and concepts of mutiny!).

Was a pleasure to be a part of this successful event!
