Palmer was a finalist for the John W. In the same post Palmer, who was diagnosed during graduate school, explained why she self-censored for more than a decade. She also worried that it might affect her academic future. Palmer was awarded tenure this past December.
If she feels up to it, she watches Shakespeare DVDs. She estimates she lost 80 days to pain last academic year. Two years ago, she thought she might have to miss class to have surgery. For the first time, she told her students why. This led to a long class discussion about invisible disability, mental illness as an invisible disability, how invisible disability is political.
Afterward 12 different students came to her office hours to talk more and thank her for having the conversation.

On November 28, the final class, an undergrad named Olivia has a censored text to share. The class laughs uproariously. She half whited-out, half Sharpied the book, so I could read it in the sixth grade. The pages, spread open on the overhead projector, have a sloppy mix of white and black over the offending lines.
McManus picks at the tiny, uneven remnants of pages that were ripped out in their entirety.

In the exhibit, Palmer explains later, the book will be displayed next to a Renaissance astronomy treatise that also features blacked-out text and missing pages, courtesy of the Inquisition. One of the men in the class asks how Olivia felt. Near the end of the class, Palmer returns to the notion of parental love. His work was not published until after the death of his daughter.
Her voice catches unexpectedly; Palmer is weeping.

Diderot also wrote letters to the other intellectuals of the Enlightenment, asking them to self-censor: Palmer with her book Reading Lucretius in the Renaissance ; dressed as Loki for a play she wrote about Viking myths; and in a photo shoot for her folk band Sassafrass.

Scanners may be teachers, freelance writers, news reporters, talk-show hosts, librarians, filmmakers, salespeople, and managers. All of these roles have something in common: You may be able to channel all your loves into meaningful work that can be defined in one title, or maybe not.
But by indulging your natural urge to seek, learn, explore, scan, and honor your zest for life, a common theme may emerge. Do you think you may be a modern-day renaissance woman? If you suspect you are a modern-day renaissance woman, you may be wondering how to squeeze it all in. Afterall, we only have 24 hours in a day, just like everybody else. Some people grow up knowing exactly what they want to do.
They pursue it with a passion and their lives follow nicely along that path with a few detours along the way. Many of us are seekers. Embracing our renaissance personalities can make us incredibly happy, and joy has a tendency to overshadow any notion that we should care what other people think about our eclectic approach to work, so embrace this incredibly powerful and creative part of yourself. The world needs you!
You can think of at least three ways to earn a living , and the idea of having to choose one feels suffocating to you. You love the idea of having multiple streams of income. You sometimes feel like a fraud. You love variety in your work.

The sources at the end of the book were also very useful. I was looking forward to reading this book -- and then found several mistakes in it. I'll give one example. On page Servadio states that the King of France died in and his son Henri became king. What actally happened was the Dauphin of France, Henri's older brother, died that year, and under suspicious circumstances, too.
Some suspected that Henri and his infamous an unjustly maligned wife Catherine de Medici persuaded an Italian to poison the unfortunate Dauphin, since the couple now stood first in line for the throne. Henri's father took his first son's death hard, and the strain in the royal family affected the Court and the country for the remaining 9 years of Francois I's reign.
None of which Servadio covers in her gloss of history. The date of King Francois' death is well known and the author's ignorance here is irritating because it casts doubt on all the assertions in the book. See all 4 reviews.
