Super enjoyable chat w/Prof Stacey. We discuss social theorising, how useful the study of laws can be to the historian, & how astonishing it is that the Irish material, the most extensive in early medieval western Europe, is generally ignored outside of Ireland. #medievaltwitter

We are celebrating our 10th episode, whoop! It seems like a small number but it's the first few that take the most amount of work. We're getting into it now & hope to continue making it for many years. There are easily 1000 more topics to cover & many more scholars to interview!

Excellent stuff from Niamh Wycherley, PhD and David Stifter 🍵📄🦊!
