Following the academic exodus from Twitter because I'll miss the mini-classrooms the most. I live in BC, am a real human being and very much enjoy pictures of your pets. She/her.
On the one hand, I'm grateful we'll soon be pulling out of the -40s (celsius) soon. On the other, it looks like worse chaos to come in lieu of bitter cold. At least it is Christmas colours?

"A brilliant linguist, she mastered at least fourteen languages and was the first Dutch woman to seek publication of her correspondence. Her letters in several languages to the intellectual men and women of her time reveal the breadth of her interests in theology, philosophy, medicine, education, literature, painting, sculpture, embroidery, and instrumental music.

Some info about this amazing woman:
"Anna Maria van Schurman (b. 1607âd. 1678) was regarded throughout the seventeenth century as the most learned woman not only of the Netherlands but also of Europe. She was âthe Star of Utrecht,â âthe Tenth Muse,â âa miracle of her sex.â As the first woman to attend non-officially a university, she was also the first to advocate, boldly, that women should be admitted into universities.... 2/3
Easily one of the coolest things we have done as humans is creating massive digital archives accessible to anyone with an internet connection and a wandering mind. I think I'll start sharing some of my favourite finds on Mastodon.
Here's a painting of Anna Maria van Schurman by Jan Lievens. You can view it in hi-res at The National Gallery's website. 1/3

Denying HistoryAnd this is where my ask for the #histodons comes in. Can you point me to some good resources for understanding what happened to companies like this post-WWII? Bonus if anyone has information specifically on this firm, the fate of the Koch family after they lost the firm, and a deeper dive into Bosch and the aryanized firms he assumed after his death. Thanks in advance! 7/7
This dissertation refers to the âfriendly aryanizationâ of the Koch jewelry firm (qt32x21140_noSplash_cade2fd3beb2769a52cdaa90cb88f9fa.pdf). Side note, that is a loaded phrase that is hard to read. 6/7
Robert Boschâs history with Nazi Germany seems to be full of contradictions and complexity. One article I found suggested that he had paid an âadequate priceâ to Jewish owners who sought him out (with one referenced exception). (BĂHR, J. Between values orientation and economic logic: Bosch in the Third Reich. Business History, [s. l.], v. 62, n. 3, p. 438â450, 2020. DOI 10.1080/00076791.2019.1691343). 5/7
The Velvet Box Society notes the firm was âaryanizedâ by the Nazis (https://www.velvetboxsociety.com/robertkoch.html#/). This auction house notes it happened in 1938 and that control of the firm was given to Robert Bosch.
