Really wonderful effort by @postmedieval.bsky.social editorial team. We had the first meeting today and it was productive! Sometimes we forget how important it is to support first-time authors. But we have all been there!

Thank you so much for being there, Ying!!

in the issue you can also read five research articles and a dialogue on topics ranging from medievalism and eugenics, premodern trans* lives, caves, kisses and oral metaphors, as well as japanese calligraphy and disorder

the ceiling featured on the cover can now be seen at
the V&A East; for their recent opening we made this issue of /postmedieval/ once again free to access. go to the link in our bio to read it!!

as you can see from our cover, the issue focuses on wooden spanish ceilings. Anna McSweeney and Mariam Rosser-Owen put together for us a terrific essay cluster of technical and art historical pieces that explore the structure, function, significance, and legacy of these ceilings

while we are putting the finishing touches on our first issue of 2025, why don't you have another look at our 2024 winter issue?

That’s great. But it’s a pity that non-binary folk from outside the USA won’t feel safe enough to cross the border to attend it.
