Gave a public lecture with deeply revisionist undertones on the 1000th anniversary of the reform of Marchiennes abbey. Slightly baffled to see a huge banner with my name on it. Delighted by the inscription on the church in Marchiennes where I gave my lecture.

Out soon!

@BlairApgar Look for postdoctoral fellowships on fwo.be. The scheme is open to art historians, but I am looking for historians to join my team.

@StVanderputten Is there a link for further information? (Also, are art historians welcome to apply?)

Looking for PhD holders in medieval history (religious/ecclesiastical topics, Latin West 800-1200) who are interested in applying for FWO postdoc fellowship of 3 years (junior/senior, dl 1 Dec.). Come and work with me @UGent!

@carinevanrhijn Yes.

@StVanderputten Does 'experience' mean years post-PhD?

Just as a clarification: junior fellows can have a maximum of 3 years experience, senior ones 6 years. Especially candidates in the senior category are most cordially invited to contact me.

International candidates are most welcome to apply!
