As the new teaching term starts, passing on one of the best teaching tips I’ve had. If you want to end a discussion say ‘anything else?’ If you want it to continue say ‘what else?’ From @josephinequinn.bsky.social

The premodern world held possibilities and imagined futures: the physical and metaphysical systems that were actively built and contested then continue to inform the world in the present. Read our statement on the value of Renaissance & Premodern Studies: www.rensoc.org.uk/statement-on...

Two quotations from statement in gold on burgandy background:

'Where we start our story shapes what we see. Reducing our chronological scope to the modern period risks creating a shared assumption that the world as it was in 1800 was normal and normative."

"The arts and humanities in all their rich and expansive variety enable the creative impulses that underpin all human invention and achievement. They also provide the skills in creativity, innovation and critical thinking required in assessing information – skills that are particularly vital at a time when AI and disinformation are pervasive."

Phoenix logo beneath and image of engraving by Marco Dente after Francesco Salviatito the right, depicting  an 'assembly of male and female scholars gathered around an open book, in the middle ground a man holds aloft an armillary sphere, another group of scholars in the background', c. 1515–27. Met Collection  Accession Number: 17.50.16-105.

"An institution which commits to understanding society avoids shrinking the parameters of historical understanding that shape our conception of the present, the familiar, and the immediate." 1/n 🗃 #earlymodern#18thC@srsrensoc.bsky.social statement on the value of Renaissance and Premodern Studies.
