Every three years Centre for Early Modern Studies at King's has the privilege of organising the Gollancz Lecture and this year we're honoured to host MARISA FUENTES, whose Dispossessed Lives has already changed the way we think about sources and silences

To bring a fantastic conference to a close, a talk from our PI Evelyn Welch. Thank you to all who took part and made it such a rich, engaging event (and look out for the bejeweled puppy in the slide, who may be appearing in an exciting book coming soon!) King's History

I was delighted to have had the opportunity to present about my research on ‘Adarga shields and the materiality of oryx hide’ at the closing conference of Renaissance Skin King's History. So many brilliant papers on Renaissance Skin!

Co-investigators Evelyn Welch & Hannah Murphy at the end of the Renaissance Skin closing conference. What women, what a journey, concluding yesterday with true self-representation, the reality of paint, and piercing your dog's ears. Such love and kaleidoscopic thought in the room

So grateful to Renaissance Skin for this opportunity. A room full of fun, ideas, and insight (not to mention food...) for two whole days: what more can you ask for?! Thank you and congratulations to everyone involved on this fantastic, monumental project👏

It's been a busy but exciting week! 1. Thank you so much to Tuesday's 'Ways of Knowing' co-hosts Renaissance Goo Project and collaborators Odeuropa Making And Knowing Project, Refashioning the Renaissance and Bear history for inspiring contributions opening up new avenues for interdisciplinary collaboration.

2. Thank you, too, to our wonderful participants in yesterday's Multilingual London workshop! You've opened our ears in such fascinating ways to some of the polyphonic sounds of the early modern city.

3. And there's still one more event to go... Please do join us THIS MONDAY at 5.30pm BST to hear the extraordinary Marisa J. Fuentes deliver the Gollancz Lecture in the Council Room at King's. (We're very excited!) Register here 👇Have a great weekend! eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-sixth-an…

It’s not everyday your (award-winning!) brother makes a show about your research and then, during lockdown, turns it into a film….”

So excited to see this and thank you for all the Renaissance Skin conversations that fed into the article and so much more! Congratulations.

So exciting to see this game-changing piece by @PaoloGall0 out in the world, so many implications for #histSTM #twitterstorians thinking about knowledge, materiality, the politics of science and the ‘scientific revolution’…

Thank you Hannah Murphy. It has been a privilege to work with you all.

EXCITING NEWS: my new #materialculture journal article on 16th-c Spanish featherworkers has been published #openaccess with Renaissance SRS Renaissance Studies! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11… #fashion #Renaissance #Spain #earlymodern 1/6

Very exciting to see this new work on Skin!!!

It is 1 year since the launch of 'Visible Skin: Rediscovering the Renaissance through Black Portraiture'. We were so proud to stage the exhibition across the King's College London Strand campus last year. Reminder that it is still available to view online here! bit.ly/3xgj8jM

A year since #VisibleSkin and a good moment to think about the long and complex history of visibility, representation, and power…

Goodbye from Renaissance Skin! Our project has officially come to a close in December 2022. Thanks to all who have collaborated with, supported, and followed the Renaissance Skin project over the years. Read our final news item here bit.ly/3IjXmBT
