Writes on colonial LatAm/Caribbean/Iberian Atlantic - embodied experiences of incarceration/sex/violence - identity performativity through gender/race/religions.
- Because we're talking about the New Fire ceremony tonight, they get to play with this site. It's a fantastic reconstruction of the city of Tenochtitlan. It'll really help the students visualize a place they're just freshly learning of and will maybe never get to see. tenochtitlan.thomaskole.nl
- Today’s seminar class is going to study space-time-body-ritual connections through David Carrasco’s City of Sacrifice and the Codex Borbonicus and it’s going to be lit but also my student presenters tonight prepped so well and I’m freaking stoked for them! Teaching is awesome, y’all.
- They've seen pictures and we did a one-class intro to Orishas and Santeria and colonial era magic practices and they read Joan Cameron Bristol and all that what not and folks... WHY WASN'T I MORE PREPARED TO TALK ABOUT MENSTRUATION BECAUSE ALL THE QUESTIONS WERE ABOUT MENSTRUATION.
- We're doing African and Indigenous religions seen through the Inquisition in Mexico this week. I have photos and videos from my own time there, but if anyone has a short (5min or less) educational video of Santeria practice or the Mercado Sonora that they've used, please share?
