I had the best time speaking @bristolcms.bsky.social last week! The loveliest and warmest community, thank you so much for having me. And what a full-circle moment to be introduced by Ian Wei, who I heard speak at UCL when I first started studying medieval universities!
Yesterday, we were lucky enough to hear about Dr Elena Rossi’s (@elenarossi.bsky.social) work on female employment in medieval universities. A HUGE thank you to Elena for sharing such a fascinating paper with us all: we really hope to welcome you back to Bristol soon! 🥰 #medievalsky #skystorians

Walked up the stairs to King’s College archives multiple times this week… how did I only just notice the dog with the massive dick and balls? Looks like they’ve either been restored or were added later, which is a choice in itself.

On the final day in the archive, I thought I’d share all the different shapes and sizes of medieval college account records. The skinny books from King’s are cute but Peterhouse’s rolls were a joy to use 📜
