Delighted to be invited to speak at a "Future of Franciscan Studies" event today at the Franciscan Institute, St Bonaventure University. Much to ponder about future directions for Franciscan research! #skystorians #franciscanstudies #franciscanism

"Accompany our Brotherhood on its journey through history" Cap Const. No. 145. The first meeting of Capuchin scholars at Durham discussed Catholic Reform, mission, mysticism, Bonaventure, Mariology, history writing, anti-slavery, and warfare. #skystorians #skyhistory #capuchins #OFMCap

A great few days helping organise the first Capuchin early modern history and theology workshop at Durham. Working in genuine partnership with the friars has been the highlight of my career so far. My paper looked at Scottish and Welsh Capuchins in the wider Catholic Reformation #skystorians

On the last evening of #EMBIC2026, @ccshistorycatholic.bsky.social post-doc Ben Johnson gave a talk entitled 'Benet of Canfield's mysticism in the Catholic Reformation', arguing for his importance in #earlymodern France and the #Capuchin order #skystorians #CathHist #catholicism

Current @ccshistorycatholic.bsky.social FCJ scholarship holder @aureliaeburne.bsky.social talked at #EMBIC2026 on 'Richard Lassels' Voyage(s) of Italy: English Catholic exiles and the proto-Grand Tour', outlining how his text was edited to appeal to non-Catholic readers #skystorians #bookhistory

Exploring activity at Henrietta Maria's chapel at Somerset House @ccshistorycatholic.bsky.social’s @liamtemple.bsky.social spoke at #EMBIC2026 on 'Savoy, Brazil and London: devotional space and the Quarantore in seventeenth-century French Capuchin missions' #skystorians #earlymodern #catholicism

Another @ccshistorycatholic.bsky.social presenter at #EMBIC2026 was PhD researcher @jonchant.bsky.social on 'Nobody Expects the English Inquisition: collaboration and censorship in seventeenth-century Lisbon' #skystorians #bookhistory #earlymodern #CathHist #history #catholicism #Inquisition

PhD researcher @maddyphillipps.bsky.social was one of several from @ccshistorycatholic.bsky.social to give a paper at #EMBIC2026. Her paper was ‘Raising "Prudent and Vertuouse Women": the religious education of Catholic girls in early modern England' #skystorians #bookhistory #earlymodern

It was such an incredible honor to launch my book at #EMBIC2026. I could not imagine a better venue nor a better co-launch partner than @ewatson.bsky.social! Thank you to everyone who made the evening so special!!!

Great launch event at #EMBIC2026 for the series' two publications so far this year: Catholic Print Networks in Restoration London, 1660-1688, and Print and Catholic Persistence in the Dutch Golden Age by @creutcke.bsky.social and @ewatson.bsky.social #skystorians #history #bookhistory #earlymodern

and the celebrations were noted by all for the genuine spirit of comradery felt in the room. It was a genuine highlight for me and reinforced EMBIC as a conference that supports and amplifies the voices of upcoming PhDs and ECRs (2/2)

There are parts of academia that remain toxic and challenging, but I felt a real counterbalance to this at #EMBIC2026 when academics gathered to launch two books by pioneering ECR scholars in the field. It was an honour to play a small part in organising the event (1/2)

On the train home after a very busy but rewarding #EMBIC2026! An amazing three days of papers on history of Catholicism in Britain and Ireland by friends old and new! Always a delight to help organize too 😀
