I’m at #CRIS2024 rather than #Redux2024 this week but sorry to miss this keynote from Amina Shah. Her talk seems to touch on many of the same themes as Richard Ovenden’s Burning the Books which I’m midway through reading - highly recommended

Lovely venue and a sunny day @TU_wien for the kick off of the #CRIS2024 conference

We're gearing up for a packed schedule of engagements with our university clients over the next few months. Catch me in Vienna next week for #CRIS2024 and in Brighton next month for #ARMA2024 !
