My mother died last night. She had a stroke, but covid meant that she died a continent away, and I won't be able to attend the funeral. She was sharp, funny, superbly brave. A high school teacher, a fierce advocate of women in STEM subjects. Reader of books and teller of tales.

As someone who often wondered about this while working on early modern epic and romance (while trying to find polite ways to respond to people who wanted to know why I wasn't doing postcolonial literatures instead) -- welcome. This is our field too.
I’m a woman of color studying medieval England and Middle English romances. What the hell am I doing in this field? Every time I write or research I’m reminded on how much I don’t belong.

Members of learned societies, librarians and archivists, please respond to the "consultation" on this phenomenally risky move. Collective voice counts.
Destroying these originals is a seriously bad idea. Digitization expends one form of access but destruction of originals would end another form. The cost of storage of originals, & the cost of digital access should be regarded as part of the infrastructure of an open society.

I like the idea of special library camels. Surely a reasonable research demand?
Humayun called books "his true companions" & took a portable library wherever he went, kept on wooden chests carried by special library camels. He was overjoyed when two camels carrying his "personal imperial books," lost at the battle of the Qipchaq Pass in 1550 turned up again.

On a day otherwise filled with writing student reports, I've just received news of a brilliant early career researcher's success. It's amazing how quickly our mood can change. I don't think OxCort has ever had anyone grin so helplessly at its screen before!
