I wrote a short article for Wellcome Stories on #deaf communication in the Middle Ages. #DisabilityHistory #MedievalHistory #medievalsky #skystorians

You can read my book #OpenAccess but if you want your very own hard copy, check out the UMP winter sale! Half the price, but 100% of the puns so subtle you wonder if I even did them on purpose. #MedievalSky doi.org/10.3998/mpub...

Calling anyone interested in saints, sanctity, and the weird and wonderful world of primary sources outside the conventional hagiography form! ❤️‍🔥

My book is now available open access on project muse, with OAPen launch coming soon. Hard copies should start going out this week (if they have not already): you can get yours for 50% off with code SAR50.

I think the term "college and career readiness" is an incredibly well-intentioned shift in education that has left many, many high school students disengaged + disconnected from their learning. They deserve to learn things that have value + enrich their lives in the present—not just the future.

It’s hand pie season! Thus: pepperoni pizza hand pies.

Looking forward to an exciting conversation with colleagues who study disability in other historical periods AND practitioners in present-day communities. #disability #SkyStorians

'Light of the Everlasting Life' uncovers how Old English literature drew on images of disabled and “aberrant” bodies to envision resurrection, salvation, and the promise of eternal life. @parkerchronicle.bsky.social @uofmpress.bsky.social #DisabilityStudies buff.ly/LikZHmw

Been dipping into this OPEN ACCESS offering by @parkerchronicle.bsky.social recently and there's lots here that will interest #DisHist folks working on any period, not only those in the #MedievalSky crew. www.fulcrum.org/concern/mono...

Fascinated that In Our Time is one of the BBC’s most popular podcasts among under 35s. The young people demand three academics and a peer discussing Demosthenes, apparently. And they’re right to do so.

Looking for an indexer for your book? I benefitted immensely from working with Shannon Li (www.li-indexing.com), not just because she took indexing off my plate while I checked proofs, but also because she crafted an index that helped me make my argument. #BookSky #SkyStorians #MedievalSky

Cannot wait to read @parkerchronicle.bsky.social's new book, "Light of the Everlasting Life: Disability and Crip Eschatology in Old English Literature" 👉 Open Access here press.umich.edu/Books/L/Ligh... #MedievalSky #CripSky

Officially published today! There are exactly two (2) intentional cat jokes in this book. I make no guarantees about the number of additional unintentional cat jokes.

"Light of the Everlasting Life" by @parkerchronicle.bsky.social is now available! This new addition to the Corporealities series explores disability representations and the afterlife in Old English literature. Start reading: buff.ly/SgNgGOx

This is fantastic. Share widely.

Remember how parents used to take pictures of kids with newspapers when History™️ was on the front page? Very proof-of-life vibes? Here’s proof of how alive and thrilled Æthelthryth is on the day a box of my book arrived! Happy birthday to me! doi.org/10.3998/mpub... #MedievalSky #DisabilitySky

Took my early copy of the book on a walkabout to Winchester Cathedral, built partly on top of the Old Minster, home of St Swithun’s crutch-covered shrine from ch 2. Also where the cover portrait of St Æthelthryth was made! doi.org/10.3998/mpub... #MedievalSky #DisabilitySky @uofmpress.bsky.social

It’s a real physical book! Æthelthryth seems to enjoy seeing her patron saint adorning the advance copy. Cats and saints front and center! doi.org/10.3998/mpub... #MedievalSky #SkyStorians #DisabilitySky

A spec. iss. of EARLY MIDDLE ENGLISH, ed. S Fein and T Goodmann, in honour of late Osage poet & medievalist Carter Revard, is now live!: muse.jhu.edu/issue/54946. (A stand-alone book version is forthcoming from @archumanities.bsky.social—but u can reach out if you need access.) So proud of this one.

Only two days left in @UofMPress.bsky.social’s Spring Sale—you can read my book in August as a free #OpenAccess ebook, but if you want this beautiful cover sitting on your bookshelf, you can preorder it for 50% off through May 31! doi.org/10.3998/mpub... #DisabilitySky #SkyStorians #MedievalSky

I’ve signed the book contract! Disabled Storytellers in the Global Middle Ages (Cambridge UP), coming soon! #DisabilitySky #SkyStorians #MedievalSky #GlobalMiddleAges

'Disability & Sanctity in the Middle Ages' is now published with @amsterdamupress.bsky.social. For folks interested in visual impairment, I've contributed a chapter exploring visual impairments and sanctity in medieval imagery. www.aup.nl/en/book/9789... #disabilityhistory #histmed #newpublication

NEW from me: Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company is operating 35 gas turbines without any pollution permits, belching asthma-worsening emissions into an area that leads Tennessee in ER visits for asthma. www.eenews.net/articles/elo...

I credit this book for helping me get my own book under contract with my dream press and series. I didn’t even know how much I didn’t know about publishing a monograph, and it saved me a ton of struggle.

Disability and Sanctity in the Middle Ages is available now! Please ask your libraries to order: www.aup.nl/en/book/9789... It’s been an honor to work with @aspencerhall.bsky.social and Stephanie Grace-Petinos on this collection of exciting and groundbreaking work in medieval disability studies.

The Trump administration's decision to rescind $137 million in funds has left Mississippi school administrators scrambling to figure out how to proceed, with some schools potentially left holding the bag for work that is in progress and that depends on the funds for payment.

Due to Ohio SB1 the University of Toledo is eliminating majors in Disability Studies, Women’s & Gender Studies, Africana Studies, Asian Studies, Middle East Studies & more. Toledo was one of few places where undergrads could major in disability studies. news.utoledo.edu/index.php/04...

Now with a pre-order page! www.degruyter.com/document/isb...

Reviewing proofs is my absolute least favorite part of writing, but I need to finish the bulk of my book proofs this spring break week, so I’m going to find a sentence in each chapter that I like enough to post, to remember why I love this work.

Cannot wait for this to be out in the world, current ETA for hardcopy is late spring www.aup.nl/en/book/9789... @amsterdamupress.bsky.social @parkerchronicle.bsky.social #CripSky #DisabilitySky #MedievalSky #Skystorians 🗃️
