It was only a matter of time before I came across a parchment involving people I am studying being used as a cover for a notarial register…😭#AHGirona

We (@DrDameHistory and I)are back at the archives! This time for a quick trip to the Archivo del Reino de Valencia. It feels weird not to be posting photos of interesting things we come across like we usually do at the @AHGirona

Both @DrDameHistory and I have chosen not to go get our registration package as it would mean crossing picket lines. I’m glad the sessions of the Canadian Society of Medievalists moved to Concordia and UQAM
The law faculty at McGill @AMPL_AMPD is still on strike and picket lines will be at Congress 2024. Solidarity means not crossing a picket line.

I have chosen to withdraw from my session that is part of the @CndHistAssoc As a full professor, I have the ability to do so but understand for those that do not. I've been on strike twice in the past 10 yrs and support from others is crucial. Shame on @mcgillu actions!
We view attending Congress on @mcgillu grounds as crossing a picket line. Some in precarious financial situations may have to attend in order to have expenses covered. If so, we ask that you attend for as short a period as possible & speak out against @federation_hss & McGill.
Hello Canadian Society of Medievalists! @DrDameHistory and I will be presenting today and since we will be talking about Girona, I had to wear my castellers socks.

Natalie Zemon Davis (1928-2023) has just passed away. May her memory be a blessing, for both her family and for the historical discipline as a whole. What an incredible woman and historian.
I am deeply moved to hear we lost the best historian of our generation but also one of the kindest, most generous human beings I ever met. She influenced so many of us and touched so many lives. She will be so missed. – at Toronto, Ontario

Interested to hear fellow administrators’ approach to managing emails. Do you dedicate a certain time at the beginning or end of day to answer emails? Do you reserve certain types of requests to a particular day or the week? Do you shut it off at the end of the day? – at Toronto, Ontario

I lectured about the Roman Empire last night and explained to my students the current Roman empire meme going around tiktok and IG. When I asked why so many men thought about the RE on a regular basis, one of my first years screamed “masculinity!”. Honestly, i love this bunch! – at Toronto, Ontario

Wab Kinew’s historic win in Manitoba suggests the lighting of the Anishinaabe’s eighth fire. What lies ahead is immense work and he carries 150+ years of colonization with him. But he also carries something greater, Anishinaabe strength. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 theglobeandmail.com/opinion/…

I see colleagues struggling to manage all their tasks and losing all semblance of work/life balance while others show no sympathy having normalized the unreasonable demands of the academic workplace. There is a lot of stress and unhappiness around. – at Toronto, Ontario

It was so fun to connect with students and with Prof. Bill Ju this morning for breakfast. I would love to make a habit of this @NeuroscienceUT !!
