Just have the first lecture of my first we've class as Instructor of Record!
#medievaljoy
... how do y'all manage to write three lectures a week while still doing research?
Hell how do you manage to do that for multiple different classes?
If y'all are wizards you gotta tell me!
#medievalpanic
So if you or anyone you know has experience with this or similar work, or you would just be interested in participating to collaborate, experiment, and learn, please let me know and share this around!
Bonus points if you are in the Midwestern US

Absolutely reposting this so I can find it later. #NewberryLibrary bringing the #MedievalJoy!
No #medievaljoy only #medievalscreaming today.
After 2 months of waiting for the Turkish directorate of archives to send me scans of the only extant copy of the 39th and final volume of al-Yunini's chronicle, I finally recieved a full scan of...Volume 4.
Just in time for my panel this morning, my essay on Medievalism is now available to the world!
I wrote in a very different social and political climate, but I think it might have only become more relevant since then.

Today's #medievaljoy is quite near to my (professional) heart and also one I've been waiting on for a long time:
Mamluk playing cards!

In between stints in grad school, I had several fun and interesting jobs with coworkers I really enjoyed.
I spent the entire time wishing I was back in academia.
Now I'm having the time of my life doing fascinating research that I never thought I'd get any support for.
No misery, only #medievaljoy
Was just approved (and funded!!!) to design and teach my own class for the first time! I'll be introducing a whole room full of undergrads to Sports and Violence in the Middle Ages!

I am now the proud owner of another big box of #medievaljoy that I can't wait to tell you about: the newly-released Tales of the Arthurian Knights

I thought today was just going to be an endless slog of grading, but thankfully Hildegard von Blingen dropped a little #medievaljoy on me this morning!

I offer you a different flavor of #medievaljoy today: medievalism in SPACE!

Today's #medievaljoy is intense but highly personal:
I passed my prospectus defense!
Now all I need to do is write the dissertation!
...oh no!
Any #academics out there, please send advice! How did you do it?
Ok #medievalsky I need some recommendations. What media has been bringing you joy recently? What movies, shows, games, and books have you found to engage with #medievalism in ways that are creative, inspiring, or just plain ol' fun?

A little retrospective #medievaljoy this weekend: have y'all checked out Manor Lords?

This is now officially a #medievaljoy account. I shall be exclusively highlighting instances of wholesomeness, historical inspiration, and creativity in movies, games, and other public engagements with #medievalism. You have been warned.
