Anglo-Saxons with West African roots: DNA analysis of 7th century burials reported in @antiquity.ac.uk today reveals long-distance connections reached across continents and cultures. Read about it @science.org:
Youths buried in Anglo-Saxon cemeteries carried West African DNA
Despite bearing remarkably far-flung genetic origins, a girl and young man were buried just like their peers

an absolute joy to chat with Natalie about my research - i chat problems with discourse, representation in texts and approaching the use of codicological study in detangling race and race making … all fun things (to me)

It was a joy and so illuminating to speak with Georgie Anderson about her research into how race functioned in medieval Europe. Among other things, we discussed how ideas about race were disseminated and digested in the medieval world and what role chivalric texts played.

CALL FOR PAPERS!!! The MEMRN Committee are delighted to share the call for papers for our second annual Winter Conference: Fragmented Worlds, Shared Histories.

Please share widely! Sponsored by @chase-dtp.bsky.social
We, the committee of the CHASE Medieval and Early Modern Research Network (MEMRN), are overjoyed to announce the return of our Winter Conference this year between the 14th and 16th November. Join us at the University of East Anglia and online for three exciting days of workshops, papers, social events, and adventure through the historic cathedral city of Norwich. We welcome papers on a range of topics within medieval and early modern studies for this interdisciplinary conference, including: * History and politics * Philosophy and theology * Literature, drama, performance culture and music * Latin and vernacular languages * Art history, architecture and archaeology * Manuscript studies and book history For this year's conference, we particularly encourage papers engaging with marginalised histories and communities, global intercultural contact and exchange, or conflict and diplomacy. We invite abstracts of up to 250 words for individual research papers of twenty minutes in length (or 700 words for a panel of three people presenting on a particular subject or sub-theme). The CHASE MEMRN conference remains open to all UK and overseas postgraduates. This includes independent scholars who are unaffiliated at this time. When submitting your abstract, please include your institution (if applicable) and, if from a CHASE-affiliated university institution, whether or not you are directly funded by CHASE. All proposals should be emailed to chasememrn@gmail.com by Friday 12th September with the subject line 'Conference Paper Submission' and your name. Priority will be given to those available to present in-person, but remote presentation applications will also be considered. Please feel free to contact the MEMRN team via email or social media DM with any questions you may have. We look forward to welcoming you to Norwich as part of this proudly CHASE-funded event.

I really needed this today.

Ayanna Thompson sent me a link to this jaw-dropping thing they built with a Mellon grant at @acmrs.bsky.social

You can get lost in it.

A spectacular reminder that digital resources don't have to be about surveillance, coercion, & disciplining the labor force.

ACADEMIC READING ALREADY COMES WITH A SUMMARY IT IS CALLED THE ABSTRACT
biblioracle.bsky.social John Warner @biblioracle.bsky.social · Aug 5
The Appendix on an AI policy is actually quite bad. Having an AI deliver a summary before reading has major implications in terms of the experience of student learning. What we want students to do and how they do it is the question. The experience of reading is not the same as reading a summary.
