Lots of doom circulating about university students’ engagement with their courses, and of course every instance or anecdote is unquestionably valid, but I hope I’m not alone in saying that in my recent experience the open-mindedness and curiosity and desire to learn is still very much in evidence.

I finished writing this tonight. It’s a textbook for National 5 Classical Studies, the first of its kind.
I’m not sure but I think the last Scotland-specific Classics textbook for schools came out in 1983.
Anyway, it’s 220 pages long and will be available for free/donation from tomorrow.

I was lucky enough to be a guest a few times. Right before starting he would say, "our audience is very well informed, so go as deep as you want, and if need be I'll ask you to clarify." Thought that was pretty amazing, like, the opposite of saying "dumb it down please."

Fascinated that In Our Time is one of the BBC’s most popular podcasts among under 35s. The young people demand three academics and a peer discussing Demosthenes, apparently. And they’re right to do so.

We can now be pretty sure who it was that assembled and wrote most of Great Domesday. That man was Gerard, chancellor of England, cantor of Winchester Cathedral, nephew of Bishop Wakelin: liturgist and singer as well as scribe and administrator. What a time to be a medievalist!
