Hello from the @ehcantwerp archive! Today's discoveries include depictions and imaginaries of the Caribbean, ancient book marks, and how to defeat an alligator (featuring a [borrowed? or dare I say 'pirated'?] version from Theodor de Bry's depictions of Florida).

Thanks to #RenSA2021, my moderators, and my fellow panelists for the fantastic experience! Nothing like a little Cabeza de Vaca to kick off a panel on Global Conversion: Cultures, Religions, and Encounters. :)

Was just part of an extremely cool panel on "Translating Home: Migration, Refuge, and Human Rights" at #ACLA21 ! So much to say and learn about postcolonial translation, writing to/for popular audiences, and the fraught positionality of the interpreter!

Here's a short thread to exemplify how the term "Anglo-Saxon" is used to mean 'wyte', associated w/ wyte supremacy & misused not only by Americans but equally by British ppl, & also scholars. Before you steal my work, cite me. Here we go: #medievaltwitter 1/

Ayanna Thompson opens #RaceB4Race “Education,” by reminding us that education is key to systemic change, that we have to be taught to be anti-racist and have to be taught to open our fields.
