Thank you @balhnews.bsky.social for a fantastic night! It was a great opportunity to share my research 😊
Thanks @uk.theconversation.com for disseminating some of the results of our project "Unlocking Upcycled medieval data" (an Anglo-German collaboration between the @ihr.bsky.social and the #UniversityofBamberg).
It is a great honour to be mentioned in the new history of the Worshipful Company of the Ironmongers 😊
In May, I will give an online talk for the @balhnews.bsky.social.
In this talk, I will explain my research about the English mercantile community of Western Andalusia in the 16th century.

My conversation with the @balhnews.bsky.social has been recently published! 🤗
