I'm a student pursuing a doctoral degree in late medieval history. My main interests include but are not limited to Latin, Italian, cultural theory, educational curriculum, historiography, cognitive processes, language-theory, gender relations and THE WESTERN CANON (mwahaha); i am not particularly interesting, avant-garde or risque; My main hobbies include the exciting activities of cooking, baking, going to the gym, eating green apple-caramel lollipops, restaurant reviewing and acting as child-like and sassy as possible. I keep these entries from the years of my life - no matter how i feel about them today - available because i find it useful to revisit events i now interpret differently. My name is heather, i'm of Montreal and i was born in the nefarious, ominous year 1984.

Blog Carnivals and Carnivalesque

In an attempt to increase my web presence in the appropriate spheres (i.e. in the search for my intended audience), i have recently discovered Blog Carnival. Blog Carnival is a website that maintains a directory of the individual carnivals published online (and obviously registered with the site). A carnival is a collection of posts on a given theme - similar to an online magazine. I’ve taken an interest in Carnivalesque, a carnival devoted to pre-modern history and, in fact, was lucky enough to have my post on the Great Florentine Fire of 1304 included in the latest edition at A Corner of Tenth-Century Europe.

It’s nice to see what other medievalists are up to on the internet and i think i am quickly becoming a fan of Carnivalesque.
