Why, Sometimes We’ve Believed Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast
This article provides a narrative overview of the history, mission, and activities of the BABEL Working Group (2004–21), a collective of scholars working in medieval studies who cultivated cross-disciplinary alliances between the humanities, sciences, social sciences, and fine arts in order to develop a more present-minded medieval studies and a more historically minded cultural studies.

Becoming More (than) Human:Affective Posthumanisms, Past and Future Myra J.
