The recording of my lightning talk with the @rsaorg.bsky.social in June is now available. I really enjoyed spending the afternoon listening to what my fellow grad students are working on in Renaissance studies. There's a lot of great research going on today. #earlymodern youtu.be/x8n9i4DFxXM?...

I reviewed Chrislayne Alfagali's brilliant _Blacksmiths of Ilamba_ for @rsaorg.bsky.social's Renaissance Quarterly. Highly recommend Alfagali's book to anyone interested in histories of technology and early modern Africa:

A digital call-for-papers flier titled “Early Modern Women: Figures, Labors, Afterlives.” The flier invites proposals for a panel exploring how early modern women were represented and imagined across genres and cultures.

Submission deadline is August 1, 2025. Abstracts (max 250 words), a short bio, and CV should be sent to Laura DeLuca at ldeluca@cmu.edu.
