@craigclunas.bsky.socialThis Chris Wickham quote captures exactly why, as a scholar of China's past, I appreciated so much what he did for and to the Oxford History Faculty.
@craigclunas.bsky.socialRecommend these very highly - sane application process, sympathetic support throughout, light touch reporting.

@judithherrin.bsky.socialReposted by @craigclunas.bsky.socialTerrible news about Chris Wickham. What a loss to historians everywhere and all those of us inspired by his vast expertise and the sense of exploration and fun behind it. Thinking of all those closest to him and sending heartfelt condolences.
