Grateful to have had the chance to present my second book project yesterday @johnshopkinssais.bsky.social Very lively and productive discussion.

Thank you Dima once again for a very productive workshop.

Thanks so much, Maria! Honestly, when I first started writing Imperial Borderlands, I didn’t imagine it would spark this kind of cross-field interest—I was just focused on the puzzle itself. It’s been a really rewarding surprise to see it resonate so widely.

Chapter two of my book journey takes me to Vancouver—excited to present at APSA 2025

Grateful for two new reviews on my book - Imperial Borderlands.

- Perspectives on Politics by Christina Zuber (Konstanz): www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

- EH.net by Stefan Nikolic (Loughborough: eh.net/book_reviews...

Thank you both for the thoughtful engagement!

Thank you for your kind words, Will. I hope you're doing well :)

Big news: Imperial Borderlands is now out in paperback @universitypress.cambridge.org James Robinson (2024 Econ Nobel) calls it "pathbreaking." Empire + institutions + data science—same frontier, softer cover. www.amazon.com/Imperial-Bor...

Casually holding one of the documents that made Europe: the 1718 Treaty of Passarowitz. Borders redrawn, empires rebalanced, futures rewritten—on parchment. Archival research for my second book on imperial legacies, state formation, and the making of modern Europe.
