@robehoughton.bsky.socialReposted by @markusmindrebo.bsky.socialI had a really great time in Stavanger last week. The students, staff and MARRI project are doing a lot of really cool work on modern medievalisms and you should all check it out here: www.uis.no/en/research/...

@markusmindrebo.bsky.socialDespite it being after hours and amidst stormy weather, we had a wonderful and highly successful lecture with @robehoughton.bsky.social at the UiS campus last night, through the MARRI project. Almost 50 students, staff and alumni came to hear about medieval video games and their academic uses!
@dbellingradt.bsky.socialReposted by @markusmindrebo.bsky.socialThat's a historian at work: wearing big boots, looking confidently at the sources, and sitting on the back of Father Time holding scythe and hour-glass. Yes, we do fly at work. #skystorians

@oysteib.bsky.socialReposted by @markusmindrebo.bsky.socialHaakon VIII is the first King of Norway to have two Norwegian born parents since King Magnus the Lawmender, who died in 1280. (Still part of the "immigrant population" though, as the statisticians define it - two foreign born grandparents.)
