Can't wait to see our #StudentSalon cabinet in action in the classroom for the first time later this week! Seems like the perfect time to reshare @laurenworking.bsky.social's blog post on why we created this with student partners over the summer

Autumn skies outside = the perfect time to read 2nd-year @uoyenglishrl.bsky.social student Eva Newell's blog post on cinnamon 🍁 What does Hailey Beiber's cinnamon girl make-up trend have to do with Voltaire's El Dorado? blogs.york.ac.uk/student-salo... @laurenworking.bsky.social #StudentSalon
Again and again, the response @laurenworking.bsky.social and I received from #StudentSalon workshops was how much handling objects meant.
As Rachel Hogue, MA student at @cecs-york.bsky.social says: 'Objects of the past, after all, aren’t just for looking.'

Bugs in salons?! Recent University of York graduate Mumia Douse-Bah's blog explores the colonial context of bugs and recounts a flea on a salon attendee's breast that spurred a 'poetic frenzy' 🐛🐜

We have some thought-provoking student blog posts for the #StudentSalon project - this one on trade beads is by Daisy Glassett-King, a third year student in @uoyenglishrl.bsky.social blogs.york.ac.uk/student-salo...
The #StudentSalon project website is live! It's been incredible working with @laurenworking.bsky.social and students over the last few months to put together this cabinet of things to help explore 17th/18th-century salon culture from a global/decolonial perspective

Over the summer, students worked with me & @susannah-lw.bsky.social on the #StudentSalon project, where they helped us assemble a cabinet of 17th & 18th century objects. Our webpage is now live and full of incredible, student-led resources - please check it out!

So excited by the #StudentSalon project led by @laurenworking.bsky.social and @susannah-lw.bsky.social. A brilliant research project between academic colleagues and our brilliant students!
In love with all our #StudentSalon cabinet objects, but perhaps most partial to our little 17th century silver spoon with the carved handle resembling coral, + the trade bead, kept alongside a page about Guinea pepper from John Gerard’s Herbal (1597). #museums
Cabinet assembly day for our #StudentSalon @uoyenglishrl.bsky.social! With @susannah-lw.bsky.social and our marvellous student partners Mumia, Rachel, and Daisy.
Our cabinet has arrived and she’s a beauty! I’ve been working with student interns & @susannah-lw.bsky.social on our #StudentSalon project and all sorts of 17th and 18th century objects are headed our way — fabrics, engravings, a Dutch tile, maybe even a bug or two…
