Item type: Item , The Ethics of Teaching Medieval Worlds: Student Engagement and Decentred Perspectives on History(2026) Karen Louise JollyMedieval history is taking a global turn in two key ways: first, the inclusion of content extending beyond Europe and the Afro-Eurasian interconnected worlds to the Americas and Oceania; and second, the integration of historiographic approaches emerging from outside Euro-American traditions, and specifically from postcolonial and Indigenous Studies. How should those teaching medieval history incorporate these global perspectives? What are the ethical issues for a non-Indigenous scholar using Indigenous knowledge systems to re-orient our understanding of premodern histories? This book offers insights and practical suggestions from a historian trained as a Euro-medievalist transforming into a global medievalist, and drawing on experiences teaching premodern world and medieval histories in Oceania.Item type: Item , Old English "Charms" from Jolly, Popular Religion in Late Saxon England(1996) Karen Louise JollyThe following remedies were translated by Karen Louise Jolly in her book, Popular Religion in Late Saxon England: Elf Charms in Context (1996).
