In Summer 2006 ended my time as a regular student in the French university system with a maîtrise. This fall 2026, I make my teaching rentrée as professor at a French university. If you subtract my co tutelle de thèse and a few gigs, it's been 20 years and a change of placement in the classroom.

This is so interesting: Wikipedia and the gender gap. ‘on the one hand, the criteria for notability are not suited to adequately capture women’s achievements; on the other hand, the criteria seem to be interpreted more strictly for women than for men.’

My Wikipedia bio was regularly deleted for a decade before I finally was deemed “notable enough.” This is a common experience for women. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Course prep. Horrible working conditions. Need a break.

Many have heard of the infamous "jus primae noctis" or right of first night, the purported right of a lord to sleep with newlywed peasant brides. As Alain Boureau has shown, this was (as so often!) a post-medieval invention rather than an actual historical practice (cue @fakehistoryhunter.net!)

Aujourd'hui, rentrée à l'Université d'Amiens en tant que professeure des universités. Entre autres, je fus accueillie par la mascotte inofficielle du campus, ainsi que par cette vue très officielle depuis les salles de cours.

Further adventures in French toponymy bring us to the wonderfully named Saint-Morice-aux-Riches-Hommes(-et-Femmes): Saint Maurice of the Rich Men (and Women)! While only the shorter form is used today, the 'and women' was used in the C14 (when, perhaps coincidentally, the lord was also a woman).

Emily Wilson is having the last laugh

Ignacio Gallup-Diaz@igallupd.bsky.social · 2mo ago

“A Penn professor thought she’d sell 1000 copies of her ‘Odyssey’ translation. She sold a million this year alone, thanks to Christopher Nolan.” “West Philly's Emily Wilson, who penned a highly acclaimed translation of the epic poem in 2017, is having a big summer.”
