#MedievalTwitter A thread: I’ve been thinking a lot about periodization/geography/terms recently, in particular how we as medievalists can work to include more global texts in our medieval courses and scholarship.

Then a non-med colleague asked if calling global texts “medieval/MA” was “colonizing” them because the terms are implicitly Western (marked by Western events) and the global texts belong to their own periods and terms.

Now I’m curious about thoughts and suggestions on how we can best be inclusive of global texts and respect their own terms about periodization. What have y'all done or seen done in scholarship? Maybe we need new terms to be more inclusive? I'd love some more thoughts on this!

Hello all. Great questions. I can't summarize state of
#GlobalMiddleAges work now, but ever since my plenary at@MedievalAcademy 2017, I've been trying to work thru implications of hemispheric/global.

#ClimateHistory conditions worth looking at on a global scale. (See biblio in this thread: https://twitter.com/monicaMedHist/status/1030150007406522370 ….) In other words, there may be physical reasons to define the "medieval" period as having common characteristics. We can reclaim vocab.Monica H Green, PhD added,

Gerry Heng addresses this in her early globalities article for LICO. She has discussed this both at MAA and MLA this year. This has then been part of the discussion for her and her work on Global MA since 2007. I would read and cite her.

Hi Dorothy. Gerry's 2009 essay in *English Language Notes* was already mentioned up-thread. I see several of her pieces on globality posted on her http://Academia.edu page (https://utexas.academia.edu/GeraldineHeng ). But I don't see LICO anywhere & have no idea what it means. Can you clarify?
