No better encouragement to seriously rethink the tension between writing for one's peers and doing it for one's audience than reading the labels and explanations at the Biennale.

Woodcut image from the 17th-century ballad, Londons ordinary: or, Every man in his humour.
On the right, in the image, a man with a prominent moustache stands. He has something on his back and is holding what looks like a ring in his right hand and a hammer in his left. He has a dark cap on and is wearing seventeenth-century clothing with his calves on show. To the left of the image is a table with a candle, a tankard, a cup and a bottle upon it and something, maybe cards, lying flat.

Academic friends: I emailed local folks this morning about a graduate student teaching gig, but this is also a possibility for students from farther-afield universities if they happen to be physically located in New York this fall. Details below.

One of the TAs for my Islamic Spain lecture course was reassigned to teach a Spanish language class, so I'm looking for a replacement TA, ideally someone in comparative, Spanish, Arabic, or Hebrew literature;
Islamic or Jewish studies; medieval studies; or history. Because this is part of the core curriculum rather than a departmental course, we're able to hire students in NYU programs or from outside NYU as adjuncts as long as they can be physically present in New York for the class meetings. The lecture component of the course meets on Tuesday and Thursday from 11-12:15 and the TA will lead two discussion sections on Wednesdays, 12:30-1:45 and 2-3:15 and will be responsible for grading student written work. I don't have pay information right at hand but I will touch base with the core curriculum office to be able to provide a figure to students who might be interested in this role.

Call for Papers for the Biennial Conference of the Society for Renaissance Studies which will be held in London from 30 June to 3 July 2027. Abstracts from researchers of all career stages (including independent scholars and graudate students) are invited for a panel on 'The Indian Mediterranean'. The panel explores both the presence of people from India in the early modern Mediterranean (1400-1700) as well as the use of the descriptor 'Indian' or 'from the Indies' when describing migrant, displaced, and captive people. If you are interested in applying, please send us a 200-word abstract, a provisional title, and a 100-word bio by 10 September 2026. We are hoping to get back to you with a final decision on 15 September 2026. If you'd like to receive an accessible, B&W, Word-verison of this document, please feel free to DM me.

Today, Filippo de Vivo, Martin Conway, @faridahzaman.bsky.social and I, along with 30 other members of the Faculty of History at the University of Oxford have written to the leadership of the University of Exeter to express our deep concern about the proposed cuts to Humanities and Social Sciences

We write to express our profound concern at the proposed redundancies at the University of Exeter...History at Exeter has built a global reputation in recent years through its outstanding scholarship, major international research projects, and research-led teaching./We in Oxford have benefitted enormously from collaborations and exchanges with colleagues at Exeter, including on the Socialism Goes Global project, and on a developing programme of research focusing on Downward Social Mobility, and we frequently draw on the excellent work that your department members publish. The Exeter Centre for Global History in particular, has been world-leading in the field and stimulated our work in Oxford, as has the department’s long-established excellence in European, Imperial and Military history, Economic and Social History and the History of Science. We note too, the recent election to Fellowship of the British Academy of Professor Jane Whittle and Professor Mark Jackson, whose work has also inspired and guided ours. We have seen our undergraduates go on to prosper as graduate students in Exeter’s School of Archaeology and History, and recruit Exeter students to our own graduate programmes with enthusiasm, knowing they will have had excellent preparation for their studies. These strengths have taken decades to establish but could be undermined in a matter of months. Such losses would diminish the University’s academic standing, weaken its ability to attract outstanding staff and students, and jeopardise the reputation on which the University’s long-term institutional success depends./The case for cuts of this scale is difficult to reconcile with the University’s own recent financial position or with the continued strength of the disciplines most heavily affected. Rather than protecting Exeter’s future, these proposals, and the consequent restructuring and generalising of the curriculum, risk causing lasting reputational and financial harm while reducing the quality and bread…
