Starting this month, I'm the editor-in-chief of the Turku Centre for Medieval and Early Modern Studies/AUP book series Crossing Boundaries. Let me know if you have plans for monographs or edited volumes that would fit the series! aup.nl/en/series/cros…

In further exciting news, the book I edited with @CarrieGrif 'Recipes and Book Culture in England, 1350-1600' now has a beautiful cover design! If you like the look of our contributors' essays, please ask your library to pre-order it from Liverpool University Press liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/doi/book/10.38…
