What does a singing bear have to do with Chaucer?

A lot, it turns out.

Together with Jennifer S. Carnell (HMML), we trace how the Marian chant Alma redemptoris mater shaped medieval ideas about learning — from schoolrooms to miracles to manuscript images.

My blog post today is a set of links for research on manuscripts and incunables from German-speaking lands, particularly from women's convents

Yep, that thunk was the "submit" button. It took an extra five days to get that last sentence right, but so it goes.

Done, in, and on someone else's desk for a while!

#AmWriting #AcWri #Submitted

Well, fiddledeedee. I think that article-bud was successful and works as its own independent little thing!

I can't see it to edit it anymore, so have put it down for a few days, but I'm cautiously optimistic about its publication chances.

#AmWriting #AcWri #SoTired

I solved my word-count problem. I am pleased to announce that this article is having a baby…

I've been writing blog posts about some of the interesting prayers from the Thalbach prayerbook, a 16thc manuscript probably copied by a Tertiary sister in the Bregenz convent -- nearly 300 pages in a single hand. These prayers, I'd argue, give an important glimpse into 16th c Franciscan spirituality. Today's contribution: a prayer on Mary's sorrows as redemptive

After much bureaucracy, this event is scheduled 9 July 2025.

It will be advertised asap on #BAAL #BALEAP #DoctoralWriting #AcWri #tleap #EATAW #CUP networks.

It will be in person-hybrid at #OpenUniversity in #MiltonKeynes but due to funding constraints, tickets will be limited.

Email me for info.

Here for #5amwritersclub this morning. Today’s task: ordered flow of ideas

(It’s sort of the “storming” phase of article revisions. You introduce new characters/ideas and *everything* has to adjust!)

#AmWriting #AcWri #Revisions #AcademicChatter

Being fundamentally incapable of writing to a word limit, I have just met my quota of allotted words and know that I must continue and then come back and delete.

At least I have become one with this writing practice. I like to think that it helps me hone my argument.

(This is a happier interpretation than "inadequate outlining on the front end")

"A rational case for a critical realist theory of academic writing" has today been accepted for publication in the Journal of #CriticalRealism

Basically, #AcademicWriting
must be emancipatory, educative, committed to truth.

Hoaxes, #IELTS, #GAI

Is there an authoritative peer reviewed & referenced #OpenAccess dictionary of #tleap (Teaching English for Academic Purposes) with definitions/explanations of common yet slippery concepts eg #AcademicVoice #Criticality #Argument, etc?

Reviewer 2 used the words "rigorously interrogate" to describe the analyses in our leachates paper 💅

At 4pm (UK) on Thursday 25 January, I'm giving a #IOEWritingSeminar on how the theory of #CriticalRealism helps me make sense of #WhatMakesWritingAcademic.

What do you learn from being cited?

Do you read how others build your work into their own?

I've published relatively little, but #WhatMakesWritingAcademic has been cited by a range of scholars, from feminist #HipHop to #autism in #STEM, and I'm reading it all ...

[Just had a flashback to my former life in #tleap (teaching & learning EAP - English for Academic Purposes) and to the 'inspiration' behind #WhatMakesWritingAcademic: my students would NEVER have been allowed (by the other teachers) to get away with writing 'why *things* matter to *people*'🤣 #AcWri]

Hello @annamills, thank you for your work on #AI literacies, pedagogies, and awareness raising. It's helping me, at least, raise awareness within my own academic writing contexts.

Hello #AcademicMastodon #MastodonAcademic,

when applying for government funding to do research (in the #UK, but I'm interested in other national contexts & policies, too), what sort of 'outputs' are valued most?

Grateful for more nuanced & specific replies in addition to poll responses.

Who else is doing research on artificial intelligence and academic writing that is policy and ethics-oriented?

Please boost, if you can, as I am hoping to reach #interdisciplinary voices & approaches to this, especially from the so-called #GlobalSouth, namely communities that don't seem to be getting much of a look-in right now on this 'western' concocted concern.

If you had to read a #CaseStudy on how academics (including #DoctoralWriters and #Supervisors) are actually using #ArtificialIntelligence writing tools, what would you like the case study to cover?

Asking as part of ongoing research.

The whole #AI thing is a moving target dictated by non-educational imperatives, so, I'm trying to design a case study that is, to some extent, future-proof.
