We had to send a fax recently and had to scramble through the *entire* university to find a machine.

Thanks for sharing this! It’s made my day!

• Al Overview The idiom "you can't lick a badger twice" means you can't trick or deceive someone a second time after they've been tricked once. It's a warning that if someone has already been deceived, they are unlikely to fall for the same trick again. Here's a more detailed explanation: • Licking: "Licking" in this context means to trick or deceive someone. • Badger: The badger is a wild animal, and the phrase likely originates from the historical sport of badger baiting where dogs were used to harass

Events Calendar Early Modern and Eighteenth Century Centre events at the University of Warwick.

Excited to speak to a joint meeting of Warwick's Global History & Culture and Early Modern & Eighteenth-Century Centres, on Thursday 1 May at 1pm. My first time posing some new historiographical questions about multilingual cities and early modernity. I'm also reliably informed there will be pizza.

Withe the academic job market the way it is, some of us might not have the option 😂

It is absolutely worth the read!

I likewise felt very honoured to be included in this amazing lineup of scholars! Excellent work all-round.

This is both an incredibly niche thing but I think it should be more of a thing. Caffè Nero subscribes to the British Newspaper Archive so it’s all free on their wifi. There. I said it.

I love Carla Garcia Pestana's 'Early English Jamaica without Pirates'. The way she sets up the narrative of piracy, only to say 'but the source this is traditionally based on didn't exist' is one of the best historiographical gut-punches which I love to read!

Hi #VastEarlyAmerica historians! Does anyone know who first invented the ticket system to control the movement of enslaved people? Was it the Spanish or the Portuguese? If so, where and when? This could be a good topic to explore the circulation of policing techniques between empires.

Best use of the phrase "fit for purpose" I've seen.

I’m really looking forward to presenting my thesis work at Warwick in February!

There are still a few weeks left in the year (though December is generally a quiet month for book proposals), but it looks like I’m going to close out 2024 with around 80% of total book proposals coming from men, 18% from women, and 2% from persons whose gender was not apparent/obvious.
