Please share the news: the first week is given in English, the second in French (but it's possible to follow both, of course)

Now that's a new way of #catfishing - play to the academic's vanity and grab them by their self-love 😅

#skystorians

There we go: our two weeks of summerschools just started...

#earlymodern #skystorians

Giovanni Gellera on John Mair

Ruth Atherton on Osiander

Having a great time at #reforc2025 with a great paper yesterday by @giovannigellera.bsky.social and right now a fascinating one on Osiander by @ruthatherton.bsky.social

Looking forward to the rest of it...

Andreas Dettwiler giving his farewell

It was great to attend the valedictory lecture of @dettwiler.bsky.social

Thank you Andreas for everything you have done for the faculty (and beyond)!

Portrait of François Hotman in somber colors; he is wearing a white ruff and his right hand is placed on this torso, underneath a large black cape. The image features the name of the conference and of the lecturer, as well as the place and time. At the bottom of the image, a pink band with the mentions "Institut d'histoire de la Réformation" and "Université de Genève"

Next Monday, our PhD candidate Christian Martens will present his thesis research “François Hotman (1524-1590): humanisme juridique, historiographie et engagement politique”. See you at 12 PM in Uni Dufour (U365), Geneva! Presentation in French. More details on www.unige.ch/ihr/fr/accue...

Looking forward to welcoming @jpowellmcnutt.bsky.social in Geneva in ten days!

Thanks for sharing widely
#earlymodern #skystorians

Bad news indeed. We will miss you excellent scholars coming abroad!
#skystorians #academicsky

Really useful, thanks for creating this!! #earlymodern #skystorians

A G-rated impression from our recent PhD-Lunch: @jebbb.bsky.social presenting his research on #OriginalSin in #16thCentury exegetical debates, which we announced in such graphic detail that #bsky censored us (poor #Eve, but there is no such thing as prelapsarian fig leaves...)

#earlymodern

Plutôt @ihr-geneva.bsky.social - au plaisir de te voir!

Looking very much forward to listen to @julienleonard.bsky.social in Geneva!

The Swiss Academy of Humanities and Social Sciences (SAGW) readvertizes its portal on "Cultures and Societies": if you're interested in learning more about jobs, events and publications in the SSH (mainly, but not exclusively in a Swiss context), have a look at it: www.cult-soc.ch/en/cult-soc/ 🗃️

I probably shouldn't like this 😂

First drills

Putting the pieces together

Almost there

Done!

Today was a good day for some #MentalDiversification. We have a new wardrobe now!

#DoItYourself

Oh, sorry. In the common Late Medieval Latin translation of Aristotle, a woman is a "mas occasionatus" (a defective male). I thought you refer to that...

#earlymodern #skystorians

You "occasionally" get angry? Great wordplay 🤭

#NRW hat neue Zahlen zur "Entfristungsquote der wissenschaftlichen Beschäftigten" an Hochschulen vorgelegt (Vorlage 18/3369). Und da staunt man nicht schlecht über das Eigenlob: der Anteil an Unbefristeten sei von 54% (2017) auf 70% (2023) gestiegen! -Wie das möglich ist? Lest selbst. #IchBinHanna

The most revealing part is the "bright, well-organized kitchen" I'd say 🤭

So the lesson to be learned is once again: buy a new phone.

🗃️ Card File Box Emoji A black or gray box with a label holder, containing card index dividers with multicolored tabs, as used to organize and store files. Apple and Facebook&rsq...

Thanks, that's probably the reason. In addition, there are two different Shortcodes for this emoji, :card_file_box: and :card_box:, see emojipedia.org/card-file-bo...

Now that's fun. Here's how they look to me, and as a matter of fact, if I use the first one (the one of my phone's set), posts are not included in the “What’s History” feed that collects posts with the second one

I've a problem with #emojis here on #bluesky: if I'm on the phone, I have to use the phone's set of emojis which are different from the standard bluesky ones (compare 🗃 with 🗃️). Some #feeds depend on the standard set, though, and posts written on the phone will not be loaded. Any #workaround?

I'm a bit confused about their opening statement:

"While historians have been able to digitize physical typewritten documents using [...] (OCR), handwriting, with its individual styles, has until recently resisted recognition by computers."

Aren't we doing this for more than a decade now? #dh 🗃
