Very pleased to have this flop through my letterbox this morning! 'Recipes and Book Culture in England, 1350-1600' edited by master chefs Carrie Griffin 🇵🇸🍉 and Dr Hannah Ryley features many tasty, magical, healing, and starry chapters (including one by me about book-craft recipes).

1/ My review of Stefanos Geroulanos's "The Invention of Prehistory" in Foreign Affairs . Thanks to Kanishk Tharoor for excellent edits. The book is well meant, often fascinating, but, unfortunately, wrong. Partly the result of neglecting earlier work by foreignaffairs.com/reviews/sapien…
My forthcoming book with Columbia Univ Press, 'Impossible Recovery: Julian of Norwich and the Phenomenology of Well-Being', now has a webpage and an exciting blurb! Available to preorder, published January 2025 🎉 cup.columbia.edu/book/impossibl…
Well, this has been a very long time coming. I am so proud of the book I have written, and that Emily Silk has editorially shaped. Forthcoming from Harvard University Press in January 2025, my first monograph THE DISINHERITED: THE POLITICS OF CHRISTIAN CONVERSION IN COLONIAL INDIA!

ah! i just noticed that Laura Nasrallah’s exciting new book on “magic” (among other things) is now available on Cambridge University Press’s website! i’ve been waiting eagerly for this one. cannot WAIT to read it and, inevitably, to assign it for my students to read, too. cambridge.org/core/books/anc…
Very belatedly sharing my article in South Asia: JSAS on caste dynamics in the Indian information technology industry. In the paper, I use the term ‘corporate Brahminism’ to discuss the intersections between caste and capital. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
New article on 'Periyarism' by Abhimanyu Arni (Oxford uni) Global Intellectual History. This very interesting intervention sees Periyar's politics as a "transitive universality". I am delighted that the author has critically engaged with and responded to my past work. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
Fantastic piece by Monica L. Smith measuring the reach/scale of the premodern South Asian state through the archaeology of fortifications. journalofbigdata.springeropen.com/articles/10.11…
