Next week I'll have the good fortune of presenting ongoing dissertation research at the Newberry Library's Graduate Student Conference in Premodern Studies right here in Chicago! Fun fact: this is my first conference presentation with A/V since starting my PhD in 2019 #NLGrad25 #earlymodern #history

Peep my one-woman ad campaign for @scapincus.bsky.social's undergrad class this quarter. I like to think these are still so prominent because our students know they are comedy gold #highered #teaching

Very proud of the student who asked "what about Bombay?" In today's lecture about Bengal in the 7YW. Measurable impact on tomorrow's historians!

#introductions I'm a History PhD at UChicago. My research: why did Bombay (Mumbai) transform from a malarial backwater in 1665 to a commercially dominant Ind Ocean port city by 1765? Very short answer: imperial political economy/policy contestation w/in the East India Co, India, Empire, and Britain
