It is sad to hear that Carlo Ginzburg has passed away. He gave a talk last year in Cambridge, and I feel so lucky to have had the chance to meet him!
Happening today! 👇
Proofs! My next article, 'Jefferson's Chess Set' will be published in The American Historical Review later this year. Having an article in this journal is a thing now off from my bucket list.
I am thrilled to invite you to the book launch of The Sons of St Augustine taking place at 5pm on Wednesday 17th June in Old Hall at Queens', with a fantastic lineup of presenters! Followed by a drinks reception, too. All are welcome, and no registration is needed. Please share widely!
The talk was on nature and the Augustinians, connected to my new book. After the talks, we also planted a gourd garden at the Native Plant Garden, whose fruits will be used to make traditional musical instruments next year!
I had fun yesterday giving a paper at the 'Plant Lives: Sacred Interdependencies in the Arts of the Americas' conference at Yale.
