Amazing #SMM2024@socmedimedit Conference so far @EdinburghUni
Plenty of inspiring papers, new discoveries, thought-provoking debates, and… a whiskey tasting to conclude day 2, in perfect Scottish spirit (pun unintended).

Finally for day 2 we have more on Harald Hardrada in the Mediterranean; also more becoming Carolingian in the Iberian peninsula; identity in the Ayyubid period; & papers in women and food in the medieval Mediterranean #SMM2024
As part of this year’s @socmedimedit conference in Edinburgh, we visited the Edinburgh Central Mosque. An image of the mosque was featured at the very first Woolf Institute exhibition in 2017.
