An illustration showing cute fat rabbits piling into an underground burrow. There is text, part of which has been edited. The original text says "There are tunnels underground where bunnies are safe — safe" and the edited text adds "from emails"
Stay safe out there y'all
Simple, really, one small bilberry pie to each plate, four candied almonds, three honeyed gooseberries, and a good ladle of yellow meadowcream to dip 'em in, per plate, per creature.
Administrators at Indiana University baselessly fired the student media director and ordered the student paper to cease its print edition, so it'd sure be a shame if this excellent digital front page were to be widely shared today

A scene of haymaking
They were haymaking in the fields around the Bears' hamlet & the air was heavy with the sweet scent of the whirled bales & the honeysuckle in the hedgerows. High above, the kites were wheeling & the summer felt as though it would never end, that those days would simply never end.

Borders, Boundaries, and Barriers have become increasingly prominent themes in historical scholarship. There is, therefore, a pressing need to examine how these constructs have shaped the lived experiences of historically marginalised groups, as well as how they were perceived, defined, and engaged with by those groups. This conference seeks to reorient discussions around borders, boundaries, and barriers by foregrounding the experiences and perspectives of marginalised groups and considering how these divisions were perceived from the peripheries of societies. Rather than treating these concepts as abstract or solely geopolitical, we will explore the ways in which they have operated — both historically and historiographically — as tools of exclusion and differentiation. Organised by Natasha Jenman (University of Oxford), Naomi Reiter (QMUL), and Dean A. Irwin (University of Lincoln/OCHJS), the conference will focus on individuals, religious groups, social groups, societal constructions, and natural phenomena. Participants are invited to explore the role played by evolving borders, boundaries, and barriers in the medieval world as part of group identities; and how groups used them to their advantage. Likewise, it will consider the extent to which borders, boundaries and barriers have been imposed upon the medieval world by modern scholars. Possible topics for consideration include: • Legal jurisdictions • The natural and the supernatural worlds • Socio-economic strata • Ritual and religion • Space, time, and the environment • Gender and sexuality • Disability • Transgression, delinquency, and the grey middle space This conference adopts a broad chronological and geographical approach with submissions from all historically-related disciplines being welcome. The conference will take place on 20 and 21 April 2026 in Oxford. To submit, please send a title, abstract (c. 250 words), and a bio (c. 100 words) to: bordersboundariesbarriers@gmail.com.
Just over a month left to submit an abstract to the Borders, Boundaries and Barriers conference happening in Oxford next year!
We hope to provide funding to help cover the cost of attending.
