Alas! Thanks for posting! This result is useful. Balances out a colleague's current good results on 17th c handwriting. Less complicated layout too maybe. 😅

Huh. Well, that's another reason to stop recommending them.

My home province is finally ditching time changes! Yay! Come on EU, time for you to also follow through on that decision made over 6 (!) years ago.

This week my students were asking about the distinction between anti-imperialism and anti-colonialism. The conversation happened in the context of reading Gandhi’s Satyagraha in South Africa. They were amazed that Gandhi could see the Boer as an iconic figure of colonial suffering and resistance 1/

Still true.

How inquisitive was medieval inquisition? Kaarel Sikk, David Zbíral, and Reima Välimäki have published a new study in Digital Scholarship in the Humanities that examines how Peter Zwicker's inquisition in Stettin (1393–94) utilised informatio...

Have you wondered how medieval inquisitors gathered the names of suspected heretics?

We have some answers based on a quantitative study of the Stettin inquisition (1393-94).

I have been wrestling with these questions, in light of my work on understanding local medieval pilgrimage. Great to have some fresh insight and perspectives!

Oh this looks brilliant! And I see @hopesteffen.bsky.social is taking on the challenge Margaret of Roskilde! :) Does one have to register?

Haha! And on the bus... 🤣

Yes, a similar situation then.

My comment was in no way denying what you wrote above in terms of funded HE and completion rates!

Part of this is true. However, we in Sweden are currently suffering cutbacks and the third-party funding race is definitely on. We are also having to cut back on courses and programs based on our expertise. The question is how long we can keep it up.

I really want to stress that this is not some form of wishful thinking. It is an understanding of higher education that stands in opposition with the model that brought us graduates in crippling debt, adjuncts being fired for teaching difficult subjects, and a rat race for third party funding.
