Had a lot of fun teaching today about things that I love: women, wikipedia, the library! The students will write a short wikipedia page about a woman who doesn't have a page yet. Check out the IG @religiousherstory to follow their adventures! ✨ @kuleuventheology.bsky.social @3sbos.bsky.social

Hoera, het nieuwste nummer van Tijd-Schrift viel net in de bus! Deze keer wel zes megaboeiende artikelen over het thema 'thuis'. Bonus: een vrouw op de cover (kunstenares Louise De Hem) én een inleiding van mezelf! ✨
Cover van het tijdschrift Tijd-Schrift met een foto van kunstenares Louise De Hem in haar atelier bij haar thuis (1910, collectie Yper Museum).Inhoudstafel van Tijd-Schrift vol. 13 nr.3 themanummer 'thuis':
- Torsten Feys: "Hoe het water naar een nieuwe thuis zo diep kwam te staan: de uitwijzing van vreemdelingen tijdens de negentiende eeuw"
- Julie De Groot: "Eigen haard is goud waard: de centrale rol van de keuken in de ruimtelijke en sociale organisatie van woonhuizen in zestiende-eeuws Brugge"
- Bart Nuytinck: "Zoals men zijn bed opmaakt, zo slaapt men: de zoektocht naar stijl in het Belgische privé-interieur (1850-1914)"
- Jan Van Acker: "Eén dag in de Duinenabdij is beter dan duizend in Parijs: de middeleeuwse abdij als thuis: ideaal of werkelijkheid?"
- Els Flour: "Vrouwen en thuis, op gespannen voet? Reflecties binnen de feministische beweging in België in de negentiende en twintigste eeuw"Foto van de inleiding van het nummer ("Nergens beter dan thuis" geschreven door Maite De Beukeleer).

I found a book from 2014 on deconnection for 1 euro. Very entertaining: some predictions came true, other times the author was completely wrong (in retrospect). This passage made me close the book for a few minutes, and take a deep breath.
Highlighted text in 'the end of absence' (Michael Harris, 2014): "A large Pew Research Center survey fond that most people believe we'll see a mass adoption of distance learning by 2020, and many are wondering whether that will brush aside the sundappled campuses, shared coffees, and lawn lolling that pre-Internet students considered so essential to their twenty-something lives."

I share an office with Leen Deflem, but I still learned a lot at #sblaar24 about her important work on bystandership and sexual abuse in the Catholic Church.

Unexpectedly found a biblical action figure while strolling in San Diego, and now I'm secretly looking for a way to sneak this into my own research. How cool is this! #sblaar24
Action figure of Peter and a cassette called 'Bible play-along'

KU Leuven has arrived in San Diego! To fight our jetlag, we had bacon pancakes and went to the beach and a local church. Now ready for #SBLAAR24! ✨

YESSS! In 2021, Maarten Larmuseau and I wrote "In her footsteps" (in Dutch), at the crossroad of gender, genetics and genealogy. 👇
