Have been flying below the radar lately. Have drafted several posts but life kept getting in the way of properly editing them. I have spent some time tweaking the site’s theme (still not happy with it, but I’ve become quite the theme hoarder).
CFP: Renaissance Studies and New Technologies
Since 2001, the Renaissance Society of America annual meetings have featured panels on new technologies for scholarly research, publishing, and teaching. At the 2013 meeting (San Diego, 4-6 April 2013), several panels will cover these new and emerging projects and methodologies. [Read more…] about CFP: Renaissance Studies and New Technologies
Tarlton at RSA
Yesterday morning we ran three panels on digital teaching methods for early modern studies, sponsored by the Centre for Reformation and Renaissance Studies. Great presentations by Michael Ullyot, Tom Lolis, Sarah Neville, Tara Lyons, Jason Boyd, David Stymeist, Patricia Fumerton, Eric Nebeker, and Christine McWebb. We generated some good discussion and I got to talk about My boy Tarlton. I’ll post more info later, but it was particularly gratifying to hear another speaker in an unrelated session refer to our work (never had that happen before!)
To’ings and Fro’ings
Successfully avoiding marking essays today by:
1) Writing frantically – REED article, ISE proposal, RSA presentation.
2) Applying a new theme to the blog (tired of the dark brown background).
3) Adding a new tagline: “Study as if you were to live forever; live as if you were to die tomorrow.” Ascribed to St. Edmund of Abingdon. Truer words and all that.
4) Updating The Tarlton Project blog with “Talking About Tarlton” post.
5) Squeeing to be included in the March edition of ProfHacker’s Teaching Carnival for the #DigitalBard A Midsummer Night’s Dream module. Thanks to Katy Crowther for the nomination!
And with that, it’s back to grading.
