SFS 2015, Cardiff
I’ve got a lot of these left over, and since the pandemic is still going full tilt, and many of my favorite conferences are going to be online this year, I’m posting a nostalgic look back at five years ago when you could still go outside without worrying. The conference was lovely, as was Cardiff.

Paris Research Trip, 2015 (part 5): Versailles visit, Le Petit Trianon
I am fascinated by gardens. And because part of my thesis was on gardens in La nouvelle Héloïse, and in La Faute de l’abbé Mouret, I was pretty much compelled by circumstances to go. Also, a friend of ours who had been living in Paris for two years (and who was scheduled to move back…

Research Trip to Paris, 2015 (part 4): Monet at the Orangerie
Here are a few more photos from my trip. This part isn’t strictly research related, but I had never been to the Orangerie before. And it was a pleasure of seeing these wall-sized paintings by Monet, in the space they were originally intended to be displayed. I wanted to post every photo I took there,…

Research Trip to Paris, 2015 (part three)
In the interest of catching up with the backlog of old photographs from my research trip to Paris, here are a few. I had never visited the Passage des Panoramas before, but I had been talking about this and the other Passages frequently with my advisor. I went and took these photos because the day…

I’ll be giving papers at the Nineteenth Century Studies Association’s annual conference in Kansas City in early March, at NeMLA in late March, and then at the Society of French Studies Annual Conference at the Royal Holloway in early July. Which is all…

Akbar’s (Glasgow)
My second night in Glasgow I was acclimated enough to go out for dinner. On my way to and from the conference venue (which was the Western Infirmary Lecture Theatre—the Western Infirmary being where they had treated a few cases of Ebola earlier that spring), I had walked past this place called Akbar’s. They had…

More from Glasgow
Glasgow was incredibly photogenic. One spread probably can’t cover the whole of the small slice of the city I was able to see during my four days there. Here are a few more shots of the interior of Glasgow City Hall, where we were greeted by some of the members of the Merchant’s Guild (if…

Society of Dix-Neuviémistes, Glasgow, 2015
I just located the photos from the trip to my second professional conference, which was the Society of Dixneuviémistes, in Glasgow, April 2015. I took some notes, though not nearly as extensive as I did for more recent trips, but I do remember running into several old colleagues and seeing several wonderful presentations. I gave…
