Our next colloquium speaker, Ashley Cale, shared her visual history collages using Yale academic dress. Here, Cyrus Spotswood Shippen, Class of 1894, superimposed on images of a topographic chart, a landscape painting, and Black students in a lab. We were hosted by the Yale Center for British Art.

What authors inspired your most recent book? I read a bunch of cemetery memoirs before I realized I was writing one. Still Wish You Were Here was inspired by @ericabuist.bsky.social @peteralanross.bsky.social Rachael Hanel, Greg Melville, and Caitlin Doughty.
