      Modern scholars first took a morally superior attitudes to medieval history - look how primitive & ignorant people were.

      But this gave way to an expectation that we'd take history on its own terms & uncover its complexities & richness, not moralise about it,

      I feel like you've missed the bigger point in this article. @JonathanHsy sums it up pretty well...pic.twitter.com/0RGzEJe0W4

      If they did, that's a problem. No evidence given of it. It doesn't justify the claims made about medieval studies that I addressed.

      Isn't the lack of diversity evidence in itself? And re the claims I think you've still missed the point... (1)

      Medieval history is not the same as European medieval history. It's the former that should be encouraged more, no? (2)

      Critical theory has its place while respecting history's complexities. The article makes some very imp points that need to be raised (end)

      Are you referring to the first or second sentence of this tweet? Either way, again, I strongly disagree but respect your opinions

      I have been arguing for this for some time & am concerned that academia has been taken over by theory.

          I am passionate on the subject but I appreciate your courtesy, Muz, & that you did not leap to suspecting me of wanting to limit study.

          Well of course not. It's important to have well weighted debates without accusations, screaming, & shouting. It's a good way to learn!

          Okay, yeah I see where you're going with it. I understand the fear of too much theory and not enough just studying the period
