#medievaltwitter I've shared my rationale & design for a multilingual, non-chronological early British literature survey course, which I presented on at #mla2019. The link includes several syllabi: Origins to 1660 (semester & quarter) and Origins to 1800. https://t.co/G4TmZdkGXv

@AmyClukey I always reread, & I teach a 4/4. I’m teaching a class for the 5th time now, and it’s the first time I’m starting to think I might not have to reread it all next time. I feel like I have to in order to remember the fine details, which is what matters when teaching close reading.

@SydneyRaeB Have you heard of the book The Body Keeps Score? Your tweet reminds me of it, though I haven’t read the whole thing.

[Dr. Jenny C. Bledsoe @jbleds]

Gearing up for spring! I'm excited to teach this one again. #medievaltwitter

[Dr. Jenny C. Bledsoe @jbleds]

#medievaltwitter, submit to our 2023 Kzoo session on Anchorites and Family! Deadline is Sept. 15. (AND this is a hybrid session, so you can present in person or virtually.)

[Dr. Jenny C. Bledsoe @jbleds]

@dr_xpi Obviously you should add it and then cross it off.

@_crisRhodes Yep. At least till my baby's vaccinated, but probably longer.

@eelleb I’m sorry to hear about Dr Gray. I am actually revising an essay about the sister saints of Ely today, so it was nice to have this view of the place pop up.

[Dr. Jenny C. Bledsoe @jbleds]

@SydneyRaeB That’s so cool! I’m hoping to teach that class again soon.

[Dr. Jenny C. Bledsoe @jbleds]

@toomanyspectra I can’t even watch The Chair because I already know I would not be able to stand it.

[Dr. Jenny C. Bledsoe @jbleds]

(Note: I abbreviated “department” and “departments” and “and” in tweet 4/4 to get it all in one tweet.)

Well. It’s happening at UTK now. I didn’t know anything about this, but it seems pretty clear the humanities are being targeted and faculty ignored. 1/4 #AcademicTwitter https://t.co/H1liROcQWu

‘She has never invited dept heads from these proposed colleges of humanities & social sciences to meet with her. …my dept head of modern foreign languages & literature has put in an email to us, “she does not plan to meet with the heads from these depts.” That is breathtaking.’”

You may be hearing the argument that before the rise of modern commercial infant formula, babies all ate breastmilk and everything was great. As a historian of infant feeding, let me tell you why that’s not true.

On today's meeting of The Other Sister project, lots of food for thought on female reclusion in the Middle Ages featuring @FrancesEAndrews @EleonoraRava1 Michelle Sauer @jbleds

#medievaltwitter peeps, does any of you know if there is a master list (online database or website etc.) of all the libraries worldwide that hold digital collections of medieval and Renaissance manuscripts?
