Has anyone started the subfield "Critical community college studies"?

I think it's needed, and I'm planning to theme my writing course next semester around critical community college studies.

A new episode of our podcast "The Hammer of Witches" is out now!

In it, we talk about the witch hunting manual The Malleus Maleficarum written around 1486 by a couple of men who were witch hunters, granted authority by the Inquisition

Check it out! :)

This morning I am editing our episode on the Malleus Maleficarum, or The Hammer of Witches.

Molly and I enjoyed hating on some 15th-16th century misogyny :)

Do you have experience working with imperfect translations? How do you handle it?

I am reading a translation of the Malleus Maleficarum, done by Montague Summers in 1928.

I chose this translation because there's a free digital version available sacred-texts.com/pag/mm/index...

Ain't that the truth
I supposed it's inevitable that the growing awareness of #neurodiversity and #neurodivergence comes with a lot of really awful content, eh? Folks, be careful out there. There's a lot of folks putting neurodiversity lipstick on deficit-based pigs.

I've been trying out so many new social media platforms I can't even remember them all.

One of the things I'm working on now is a new episode of the podcast. It will focus on the 15th century book Malleus Maleficarum, or "The Hammer of Witches"

The book was influential with clergy and inquisitors, which is horrifying since it advocates killing witches

Hey y'all! A reintroduction :)

I'm Nic. I'm a scholar who writes and talks about a variety of topics, but most notably I'm interested in madness & neurodivergence.

My background is in applied linguistics, but I've gone considerably outside my disciplinary boundaries in my learning & work
