There’s been some calls to return to the traditional written exam in the wake of misuse of AI in university assessments, but this doesn’t go hard enough imo, I think they should bring back the medieval monastic DISPUTATION

De studenten zijn de toekomst en de toekomst wordt vernietigd door de overheid', aldus FNV-woordvoerder Arnout van Ree in Wijnhaven. Daarna begint de livestream vanuit de Tweede Kamer met het sprekersprogramma van de oorspronkelijke demonstratie in Utrecht https://t.co/99xcM8qjZs

@amwilson_opera Devastated for you and all of your wonderful colleagues. I’m so, so sorry.

[Dr Brianne Dolce @bri_dolce]

@onslies @ihr_history Aww, thank you! You’re in the acknowledgments!

Out now in French Historical Studies: my article on competing claims to the medieval history of Arras! Free to read for three months! https://t.co/D6pF7YpJk7

This report is both unsurprising to anyone who has been trapped in precarious work at Oxford and also jaw-dropping in revealing the extent of exploitation of casual staff while relying on them for the majority of the tutorial teaching that is Oxford's signature offering.

@imanimosley I wonder how many were taught that part of the sequence by a specialist? I expect a good many were, but early jobs are practically nonexistent anymore. And it’s always struck me that 1000 years of music in one course doesn’t allow anyone to indulge in the music properly.

Hey #musicologytwitter: can anyone recommend a graphic designer who is comfortable working with analytical diagrams, charts, etc…? Thanks in advance!

Very much earning my Dutch residence permit today by standing in IKEA, staring at a box wondering if it’s too big for the back of my bike.

Something I missed about living in NL: the absolute RANGE of things you can buy on Marktplaats. In mijn buurt in the last 24 hours? Anything from foot photos to kebab shops to century-old stamps. What a world.

[Dr Brianne Dolce @bri_dolce]

Arrived in Utrecht. Minne is already getting comfy.

[Dr Brianne Dolce @bri_dolce]

@giles_masters I’ve been finding this, too! And have been wondering where the communication is failing.

[Humanities Division @OxHumanities]

Today, we are launching a report which shows that studying a humanities degree at university gives young people vital skills which benefit them throughout their careers and prepare them for changes and uncertainty in the labour market: https://t.co/F0yiCYi92u

@elsie33 @PMMusicSociety Only just saw this, but it was so fab to see you!

[Dr Brianne Dolce @bri_dolce]

These last two years at @MertonCollege have been incredible. I’ve had wonderful students and colleagues, and I’ve learned so much. I’ll miss Oxford so much, but am looking forward to this new adventure!

[Dr Brianne Dolce @bri_dolce]

A bit of professional news: next month I will join @UniLeiden’s Faculty of Science as an educational policy officer! I’m very excited to return to 🇳🇱 , commit myself in a new way to higher education, and join a terrific team of colleagues!

[Bristol CMS @BristolCMS]

Huge congratulations are due to @MedievalMcSheff and our very own Ad Putter, whose new book has just been published.

The Dutch Hatmakers of Late Medieval and Tudor London is available in paperback and open access:

@reneevulto And you! Hope you’ll meet Minne soon!

[Dr Brianne Dolce @bri_dolce]

Happy, snuggly, purry Minne

#amwriting and today’s best typo so far is “vernaculated,” which I’d actually very much like to exist.
