~Peter Abelard, ABAELARDI AD AMICUM SUUM CONSOLATORIA (Historia Calamitatum)
Teach me to sing
Show me the key
To play my truth
Teach me to dance
From earth to sky
Teach me to fly
As high as you...
~Heloise, Rage of the Heart
This is my academic journal. Here, I'll be talking about my studies, applications to graduate schools, attempts to learn Latin, and interesting things I'm reading/learning/thinking about.
I'm currently a third- (and final-) year student at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, England, studying medieval history, particularly the 12th century. My area of particular interest is intellectual history and the rise of scholasticism and the universities. I'm currently doing preliminary research for my dissertation, which will be about the relationship between Peter Abelard, Stephen de Garlande, and King Louis VI of France.
