In vol. 7, no. 5, Paulina León (UC Berkeley), @sierramatute.bsky.social (Baruch C), and John Slater (Colorado State U) study and edit a pamphlet that parodies Don Quixote to intervene in the dispute surrounding the 1680 epidemic outbreak in El Puerto de Santa María. doi.org/10.7275/tl.3...
Working on this was a lot of fun! Kudos to @translatlibrary.bsky.social for the wonderful editorial process.
Ran my New Year’s Resolution 5K two weeks ago. I’m not fast, but I’m showing up, and I’ve already started training for the New York Marathon (November 2027).
