Am trying to switch over to Bluesky more- if you’re over there come follow me at the same handle! :)
Gamers out there (particularly with a historical bent!), can you help me find video games that feature the Tudors? I’ve been searching and coming up with very little!

As part of this, I looked into two very different experiences, the insightful 'Accessing Anna' by @writingmedieval and the audio tour/sound experience 'Doing Time: Alcatraz Cellhouse Tour' storymaps.arcgis.com/stories…

My book 'Sonic Pasts: acoustical heritage and historical soundscapes' is now available to pre-order 😊 routledge.com/Sonic-Pasts-Ac…
ALT Book cover design that says 'Sonic Pasts: acoustical heritage and historical soundscapes' At the centre we see a circle formed by swirly colour bands and different outlines of people, objects and places, such as a desert landscape, a diver, Stonehenge and Notre Dame. At the bottom it says Mariana J López. The book cover is yellow with dark purple font.
Hey everyone at @SeriousPlayConf, I hear there might be some photos and videos of @Museumninja and myself playing Shaw Dungeons and Dragons! I’d love to have a copy of those so please DM me if you have them! 😍

I had the huge pleasure of speaking this morning at the 2024 Serious Play conference (@SeriousPlayConf)! Being able to discuss playful historical pedagogy with other game creators and instructors is such a joy!

And I’m really looking forward to reading your book when it comes out! Thank you for including my work! 😊
I would also like to highlight Ariana's (@writingmedieval) work on the piece 'Accessing Anna'. A great example of tackling with sensitive historical topics through sound. I have included an analysis of this great piece in my forthcoming book accessinganna.ca/
Apologies for the delay, but I’m so glad you enjoyed the presentation! 😊
Great presentation by @writingmedieval on using Twine to create a game on the Black Death for use in the classroom.

Starting this afternoon with this exciting session! I don’t know how I couldn’t go to a panel with Merlin in the title! 😍

We had a day of awesome papers in our strand @IMC_Leeds yesterday - but we're back again tomorrow morning! Find us in the Maurice Keyworth Building, room 1.09 from 9.
Finalizing my talk for Thursday’s @MidAgesModGames strand! Here’s a glimpse into what you might hear about (and experience! 👀) if you come by at 9am! #IMC2024
So excited to see your talk this afternoon !

Polishing tomorrow's #IMC2024 presentation as part of the @MidAgesModGames strand tomorrow. I'll be presenting on the richness of the sonic world presented in Pentiment by the reconsideration of the voice as non-sounding.
ALT Power Point slide that says 'Beyond the voice: the medieval sonic world of Pentiment. Professor Mariana López. School of Arts and Creative Technologies. University of York.' The background is an image of the game Pentiment showing Andreas Maler near a shed where a horse is standing. We see a stone staircase and a small house.
First day at @IMC_Leeds! Starting off my time here with the panel “Trans and Intersex Histories in the Middle Ages!” Blake Gutt’s fascinating talk on Tiresias and detransition rhetoric has this off to an excellent start! #IMC2024
I’m very excited to be joining this group of fantastic scholars at @IMC_Leeds next month! If you’ll be there, check out their exciting panels!
We're delighted to be returning to @IMC_Leeds next week. If you're attending the event, come and find us in room 1.09 of the Maurice Keyworth Building on 2 and 4 July. The full programme for our strand is available here: middleagesinmoderngames.net/…
