    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.

  12. Huh - what do I see in the corner of my eye - is it - an old volume...? No - a pretty recent one (2018): this #LiteraryStudies study by Patrick J. Murphy connects the dots between the #MedievalStudies of #MRJames & his classic "antiquarian" #ghoststories 👻

  18. CW: Seminar prep

    Last week in class I paired Aristotle’s discussions of #debt, #obligation, #friendship (Nicomachean Ethics) with Fred Moten & Stefano Harney’s “Debt and Study” (The Undercommons)… excited for tomorrow’s class to hear how these ethical models resonate with students’ readings of #Boccaccio ’s Decameron. Which characters buy into prevaling norms of obligation/ exchange? Which characters perceive norms as exploitative and flee? #medievalstudies #LectureNotes

  19. #introduction time:
