Hurray Medieval Canterbury Weekend launches Friday! Great to see Professor Louise Wilkinson open our super programme on Friday #MCW24 @cccu blogs.canterbury.ac.uk/kenthistory/co…

Incredibly sad as we face 6 more redundancies in History at UoLincoln on top of the loss of 3 valued colleagues (via voluntary severance). We've always punched above our weight in terms of research + teaching and this is such a sad comment on all of that work and UK HE overall.

Torno cada any, com aquells torrons, però jo per #SantJordi 💜👇😝

Now that I’ve signed the contract, I’m super excited that over the next three years, I’ll be writing my book ‘Jews and Christians in Medieval English Towns’ with Palgrave! Not the book of the thesis but a project that’s been with me just as long. Let’s do it!

This is an amazing opportunity for students interested in queenship & royal households! The CDP programme is fantastic, giving you the opportunity to produce a doctoral thesis + time for curatorial placements, highly recommend, you’d be in great hands with this team!

What an incredible opportunity and super team to work with! 👇👇👇

How medieval government worked: A petition from Walter Turk to Edward III asking if he can have his job back as warden of the royal mint and pointing out that he's already given the king several houses as a bribe. Cotton Ch XXIX 82. #medievaltwitter #hiddencollections

With another semester ending, here's your annual reminder that teaching evaluations systemically disadvantage women. Even when controlling for grades and other factors, students (esp. males) consistently give female professors lower scores. This can have serious ramifications.🧵

Love proofs time! Forthcoming in the RoyalStudiesJournal this summer as part of a special issue on Defining Aristocracy

How’s writing up the thesis going?

Se vienen unos días chulísimos, llenos de todo tipo de actividades para conocer a las mujeres medievales con poder!! 👀🤩

Estade atent@s... Este verán, na USC , contribuiremos a construír a cidade das damas da que nos falaba Cristine de Pizan!!! A nosa historia das mulleres ten moito para contribuír a ese obxectivo!!!

📅 A vos agendas !
Dans le cadre des projets franco-portugais Pouvoir féminin et mécénat et eReginae, un colloque 'Powerful Women in Their Own Words' se tiendra à Lisbonne les 16 et 17 mai prochain 🌅 Le distanciel est possible ⤵️

Tenemos muchas ganas de contaros todo y de que nos acompañéis en la escuela de verano 'La ciudad de las Damas'. Confiamos en que sea la 1ª edición de muchas! Vamos a visitar archivos, laboratorios o las calles de Santiago en busca de testimonios del poder femenino. Te esperamos!
