Society of Military Historians Conference

just got back from the SMH conference at Fredrick, Maryland. I presented a paper on the Decemberrådslagen, the December 1654 Council Meetings which discussed the politics of entering the Polish-Muscovy War.

The presentation went really well and the questions were pretty good. one comment was on seeing this as "kingship in transition" which I think is a really good idea.

this was the third conference I was a part of this semester and I really like the presenting and meeting of others in the profession. I like the bouncing of ideas and come away quite enthused to keep working and writing and editing.

Next time I would like to bring a teleprompter because I don't like the idea of reading and not looking at the audience. and it was hard to read while wearing my glasses which I needed to read.
