This is truly exciting and well worth watching! A filmed conversation with Oxford historian John Elliott (or J. H. Elliott) (1930-2022) was just made public, in high resolution and with subtitles. Prof. Elliott is supposedly my academic great-grandfather.

I saw the daily “breathless announcements” too, and albeit excited, I felt it being a little bit overwhelming.

Glad to join the exclusive evening tour at the Icon Museum in Clinton, MA during the ASEEES conference. Looking at iconography from as early as 16th-Century Russia and the Eastern Church. Small but absolutely gorgeous. The only one in North America. All should go. #ASEEES24
