Just received *the nicest* e-mail from one of our fabulous contributors to the Adornes book saying 'The volume is a testament to the seriousness, sensitivity, & intellectual generosity with which the project was conceived & brought to completion'.🥹and I think that I might have something in my eye...

Terrible news - even aside from being a vital research resource, I have no idea how I would teach Middle English without the MED.
How will UK HE recover from this? Disastrously shortsighted decision-making that is dismantling the very infrastructure of the humanities, and threatening the livelihoods of scholars and teachers who deserve so much better. Senior managers, what are you doing?
Engaging the public in humanities & social sciences feels more important than ever. So we are offering £8k grants for researchers to work with galleries, libraries, archives, museums or performing arts organisations to do this. Please help spread the word! www.thebritishacademy.ac.uk/funding/sche...

🚨 #medievalsky 🚨 Middle English Dictionary update via FB: "In its 100-year history, MED has enjoyed periods of support, and periods when that support was lacking. It is about to enter on one of the latter. After this year...UMich will no longer fund ongoing editorial work and maintenance." 🧵
