"By early modern Roman law, persons born deaf, if they could neither speak nor write, could not make their last will and testament. In the event recounted here, thanks to a coordinated effort by her family, her advocates, papal officialdom, her beneficiaries, and Magdalena herself, the formally impossible proved possible."

#Antiquity #dishist is already much easier to make, as, in addition to human remains, we also have texts & inscriptions, iconography, status, objects, etc. ~nd

Many historians worked studied it since the 95', you can have a little bibliography here: http://www.menestrel.fr/?-Handicap-&lang=fr

Those studies are mainly focusing on significant cases, such as for prehistoric times, showing disabled people's agency, but historians begin to draw more general features from them.

Hi Mastodon Folks!

I have created a #DisHist group (#Disability #History, #DisabilityHistory) if you want to follow/join so that our little community gathers again!

See you soon at @disabilityhistory

Hi Mastodon!

Here is my #Introduction!

I am a #postdoctoral fellow from the FNRS in #Belgium, at ULiège (UR "Transitions"), on #religious #experiences of #disabled people!

So, an "expert" on #MiddleAges #Disability, #OldAge, and #Gender mostly!

My first book will be out on January 23! Its title: "Disabled clerics in the Late Middle Ages, Un/suitable for divine services?"

I am both proud and frightened, but for now, I have to finish the #Index, so, see you soon here!

#Introduction time! I'm a #disabled academic. I research and teach #dishist and early American history. I have #hEDS and a bunch of comorbidities. I'm heavily involved in advocacy for disabled students, staff, and faculty in higher ed and I'm the founder of the Disabled Academic Collective. Hoping to use this space to reach more disabled individuals and to help disabled academics find community outside of our really ableist institutions.
