1. Medievalist Problem #56

    When the academic population is so small that you’ve managed to meet (and have a class with/dinner with) your art history professor’s undergraduate advisor, AND you’ve met your history professor’s undergraduate advisor.

    Within the same year.

    (Lawrence Nees and Richard Kieckhefer, respectively)

    Also in odd connections - a friend of mine’s undergrad professor in history chaired a panel at Kzoo about 20 years ago, and MY history professor gave a paper in it as a graduate student.

    Will be releasing an official Call for Papers soon. 

    Please tell me if you’d like to help edit/review. 

    but really

    Mentally freaking out over the fact that your brilliantly intelligent PhD-in-Medieval-history-wielding friend/colleague respects you.

  10. Medievalist Problem #24

    A conglomerate of languages/grammars constantly battling each other in your head. 

    Having their own little jousting tournaments.
