I think the sambenitos displayed by the Inquisition could be considered “cool”? We worked mostly from Spanish visual sources, but there are many references to the Portuguese world too. Link here: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Scientists need more time to think

Scientists need more time to think

These pressures undermine innovation and the intellectual freedom vital for real progress. 🧪🌱🌍 #ScienceIsNotBusiness

What did the idea of eternal damnation and Catholic images of hell mean to enslaved survivors of the middle passage?
