This photo from #icls16 in Lexington, Kentucky popped up in my memories. My mentors, advisors, friends, inspirations… these folks mean the world to me. @CourtlyLit @CourtlyLitNA

@OliveSami @CourtlyLitNA Beautiful photos! 😍

Had a marvelous time talking about different forms of courtliness (and exploring the UBC campus) at #ICLS2023. Looking forward to seeing everyone in Montpellier in 2026! @CourtlyLit @CourtlyLitNA

Sarah Anderson began her paper with appreciation that @CourtlyLit conference @UBC_FHIS @UBC_PH had sparked “a flurry of ideas.” She asked, “Is my hair on fire?” Her inspiring paper considering Iceland’s Olaf the Peacock sent my hair into a 🦚 An Icelandic burial chamber to visit!

Connection at #icls23. L to r, I so enjoyed insights of medieval historians Tamara Caudill @FrenchAtJU & @IMdFS, Dr Annie Doucet @UArkansas & @emmacayley @LeedsUniAHC & outgoing president of @CourtlyLit #Timetolisten vital for development of academic/cultural sector partnerships

Yay, great to meet Keith Busby @CourtlyLit, author of @PenguinClassics edition of the Lais of #MariedeFrance with Glyn S Burgess. This edition the #MarieInTheMargins entry point before accessing #MariedeFrance’s poetry in original form in Claire M Waters’ Broadview Press edition.

An honour to meet @CourtlyLit 2023 conference organisers @MoranMedieval @anne_salamon and @IsabelleDelage @UBC_FHIS, a team who facilitated so many valuable international connections and opportunities for sharing insights. Congrats Patrick on your appointment. Well deserved!

Thanks to @GailBorrow of @ExploreArch for the presentation of the film Marie in the Margins. In this film, three British women react to Marie’s work in an incredibly authentic way. #icls23

Merci à @GailBorrow d’ @ExploreArch pour la présentation du film « Marie dans les marges. » Dans ce film, trois femmes britanniques réagissent à l’œuvre de Marie, d’une façon incroyablement authentique. #icls23

Thanks to Megha Mazumdar for a very interesting presentation that juxtaposed Marie de France and Muddupalani. #icls23

On a oublié de le dire: le thème du Congrès en 2026 sera le savoir courtois. We forgot to say: the theme of the 2026 Congress will be Courtly Knowledge. #icls23 #icls26

The passing of the branch. Nouveau président, @MoranMedieval New President, Patrick Moran #icls23

C’est officiel! Montpellier, SILC 2026 It’s official! Montpellier, #icls26 #icls23

I will be sad to step down as President of the International Courtly Literature Society @CourtlyLit today after nearly 20 years of involvement on the Exec team in various roles. It’s probably the best Society in the world! Good luck to @MoranMedieval as he takes on the mantle. 🎉
