My grandma died a week ago :( been visiting people, organising ceremonies, supporting my familly, etc. for the last week
Today we buried her. And then i went and visited our local museum, she used to live in this building before it became a museum and it is exceptionaly well preserved.

ENG Meet Rosaura, a matriarch who every Saturday brings her whole family to help sell sell her homemade homemade and organic products at Feria del Trueque. Her small agroecological mountain farm in La Legua is hours away from San Jose, so they drive they day before before and sleep on site. Despite Costa Ricas reputation as ecological destination, organic farming has seen no incentives from recent governments. The country has invested heavily in mechanized and extensive monocultive agriculture with one of the highest per capita use of pesticides, many forbidden in Europe.

ESP Conoce a Rosaura, matriarca que todos los sábados trae atoda su familia a vender productos caseros y orgánicos en la Feria del Trueque. Su finca agroecologica esta a horas de San José, por lo que viajan el dia antes y duermen en el lugar.

El país ha invertido mucho en monocultivos mecanizado, con uno de los mayores usos per cápita de plaguicidas, muchos prohibidos en Europa.

This morning’s #AOM2025 PDW on #microhistory wasn’t just about method—it opened space for deeper ontological questions. I’m exploring how Giddens’ structuration theory might inform this: treating microhistory as the site where modalities of structure—interpretive schemes, norms, resources—become visible. Not a counterpoint to macrohistory, but the medium through which structure unfolds.

🗺️ Historical context matters! In 17th Century Tottenville History Comes Alive, I explore how this community connects to broader historical movements.

This perspective transforms dates and facts into human experiences that readers can connect with emotionally.
