This is the home page for the NEER Research Cluster entitled Children in Europe and the Australian Colonies c.1300-1850.
The care and upbringing of children is a major concern in modern society but the long history of childhood has yet to move beyond the general to interrogate how different discursive, legal and social contexts shape the experiences of children and representations of childhood. The Children cluster aims to bring scholars from a variety of disciplinary perspectives into a sustained dialogue about the long history of childhood and gaps in the study of children's experiences in the European past.

I am currently working on an article which uses her as a prime reference source, and it would be nice to put it to such use.
All the best

That is a nice idea. I don't know if anyone is planning another one. Sue B and I published Women, Identities and Communities in Early Modern Europe last year in honour of Trish. We were able to present it at the PMRG conference in May, which was a great pleasure.
I hope all goes well with you.

We are also thinking of devoting a part or whole Parergon issue to essays in memoriam of Trish. This has not gone beyond the 'ideas' stage, but your article could fit well within such a proposal. Will keep you posted.
All the best,
Anne
