Now that the academic year has ended, I am belatedly sharing my "start-of-the-PhD-picture". I have had the best time at @LSEEcHist, and am very much looking forward to researching wealth mobility in 19th century France with @NJCummins and @msaleh1982! To three more years!

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 @EconHistAssoc for another fantastic conference, I love being part of this community.

Flying out to Philadelphia to present my PhD thesis at the EHA conference. Honoured and delighted to have the opportunity. So many thanks to @phwallis, who has been the most superb supervisor a PhD student could possibly ask for, and to the department @LSEEcHist. Thank you.

Gave the first lecture of my life! As part of our summer school "The Economic History of Inequality" here at @LSEEcHist, I had the amazing opportunity to write & deliver a lecture on "Critical Junctures in the History of Inequality“. Huge thanks to @njcummins for the opportunity!

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 @EnguehardJoseph and Paul Maneuvrier-Hervieu for the invitation.

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

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!

When in Vienna, I heard extremely nice mentions of this book by the German historian Onur Erdur, yet untranslated in English. It deals with the role of the Maghreb (and of otherness) in shaping the theories of Bourdieu, Foucault and probably others.
