What does a singing bear have to do with Chaucer?
A lot, it turns out.
Together with Jennifer S. Carnell (HMML), we trace how the Marian chant Alma redemptoris mater shaped medieval ideas about learning — from schoolrooms to miracles to manuscript images.

I had a FANTASTICALLY productive day working on the wrong project.
Avoidance on A meant I got a complete draft of B done!
Yay for what I have in hand; weekend hours are freebies anyway, right?
Sometimes writing is going through old files and saying: done, done, use this, done.
it doesn't always feel like progress, but it is
That thing I’ve been working on all break? It’s a thing! Book chapter is live and ready for edits. But that’s NEXT weekend!
I wrote a thing, hooray, hooray!

Had to whack it back, much like yesterday’s rose pruning. Garden sheers, guys, I was using garden sheers. Cut two complete slides and a BUNCH of explanatory detail!
But the paper is now 16 seconds under time at a measured delivery pace suited to a multilingual audience.
That’s a good job of editing accomplished!
