@medievalfrench Hello! A slightly (very...) belated thought on #3: a cantel? See cantel s.4 in MED - a piece of timber used as a brace or support, which feels not unlike a besche. Bonne chance and hope this helps!
Our Managing Editor Pam Yee won't be able to attend because she will be getting her official Ph.D. hood 🎉🎉, so our Staff Editor Eleanor Price will be stepping in to present her paper.
As you plan your journeys to #kzoo2023, please consider coming to the panel 257: Failure and Digital Medieval Studies, where you can hear not one, but two(!) presentations from members of the METS board. We'll be discussing the hidden labor and challenges of our digital redesign.
