This will be our third year running this workshop aimed at helping first-time article authors finish drafts and workshop the peer-review process. It's always been brilliant and I've learned so much from it, so do spread the word!

What a cover! Congratulations Nicholas R. Jones, I see a Medicine and the Making of Race, 1440-1720 reading group in our near future...

Skin!!!! Congratulations to Lily Freeman-Jones, so looking forward to seeing this work unfold....

Already a cherished memory, this event will forever remain a real professional highlight for me. Such a privilege to hear reflections from scholars from whose work I’ve learnt so much and to get a preview of brilliant new work on the horizon. The future of PCRS is so exciting! 😍

Of course, no one who has read the book will be surprised that this was a cornucopia of dizzying, dazzling thoughts (their thoughts!) that ranged across time, space, and place. So grateful to Urvashi Chakravarty and panellists for a real Medicine and the Making of Race, 1440-1720 highlight...

Monsters and legibility, kinship and servitude, pedagogy and resistance, disease and foulness, and servitude mobilised for freedom: incredible new #earlymodern #pcrs work on its way inspired by and in conversation with Urvashi Chakravarty and we were privileged with this preview!

TODAY!!!!!!!!! Do come and join us!

One of my favourite project activities is back for another series. Featuring incredible scholars and little known sources on slavery, medicine, and race-making.... Ana Struillou is our first contributor, check out her wonderful post here...

Back in London and suffering acute #earlymodern withdrawal after a glorious The Renaissance Society of America, so our forthcoming conversation with Urvashi Chakravarty is especially timely. Come talk all things slavery, race-making, service, freedom, and early modern England with us....

In a week's time! Do join us, this will be exhilarating!
