Thoughts on the drive home from #SMH2021: our panel (organized by @ProfPaul_J ) was the only panel on any pre-modern topic. There were just two other papers in the whole program before 1700.
And I can't help but think there is real value in getting more premodernists there. 1/9

There are so many other kinds of recruitment and status systems! Warriors, military aristocrats, military underclasses (e.g. slave and prisoner soldiers), citizen militias, the 'nation-in-arms,' tribal levies, military settlers, private-contact-armies... 7/9

But the modern conversations were dominated by "Professional national soldier or not?" Anyway,
#SMH2021 was great, the panels were great - but we need to get more pre-modernists and early modernists out there and everyone else needs to go to their panels! 8/9Näytä tämä ketju -
