I‘ve just returned from 2.5 amazing months as a visiting PhD student at the Paris School of Economics. I am endlessly grateful to PSE for hosting me. I had inspiring conversations, met my academic heroes, and left with a head full of new ideas. What an amazing school!

On a different note, we had another set of amazing papers in the Political Economy of the French Revolution session, which I was pleased to chair with Paul Maneuvrier-Hervieu

Had the great pleasure of presenting my research at this year’s World Economic History Congress in Lund, in the session on ‘The Political Economy of the French Revolution.’ What an amazing conference! Huge thanks to Joseph Enguehard and Paul Maneuvrier-Hervieu for the invitation.

Gave the first lecture of my life!

Some fine words from Claudia Goldin here - "Teaching is essential to my researcher, it is the handmaiden of my research. I could not have been a researcher had I not been a teacher." Thanks EHA for another fantastic conference, I love being part of this community.
