Recovering teacher & PhD student in Spanish at the University of Virginia. Interested in #medieval & #earlymodern content. I am interested in literary depictions of #Satan and #evil and what they tell us about society
I think it's lovely that you're offering to meet people where and when they can learn. I did my master's degree online while working full-time. It was the leap I needed to start my PhD. I will forever be grateful for the opportunity to study affordably when and where I could.

Sorry. I saw a connection and forgot the original intent of your question. RSA just wrapped up CfPs for the conference in San Francisco in February. Other than h-net or the UPenn CfPs, I'm not really sure where else to check right off the top of my head.

Do you know Allison Bigelow? While her work is more about mining, it looks like metalwork is something she might have suggestions on.

It has hit my family. I'm terrified for some of them.

I had a similar thought yesterday. Do I think this is how we should handle things? No. Do I feel like it might swing ignorant people looking for someone strong and mouthy? Maybe? Honestly, it's worth a shot at this point.

What the hell? I hope some day being included here is seen as a badge of honor

How are we somehow more ignorant today than before everyone kept a phone in their pocket? It baffles. I remembered 2015, feeling like the world was generally, slowly, moving in the right direction. Nowadays I just want to get the hell out of "civilized" society

Sounds fun, though! I've tried several times to get into comics. I feel like I just need the right one to get me hooked, if that makes sense.

Medieval Latin class I'm taking this fall, and for pleasure reading "The Invisible College" (Wheeler). There are others but I'm just curious what others are checking out right now. Also, any good #satan texts would be appreciated. About to start Maria Tausiet's "El Diablo en la Edad Moderna"

The most stabilizing action would be impeachment
