Making Medieval History Fun - "It started with Disney" with Daniele Cybulski - S3 EPS 18

Nugget of Hope: "When studying the past, we can see human beings as human beings. We haven't changed that much, except now we have access to learning, and if we keep learning, that keeps me hopeful." Author of How to Live Like a Monk: Medieval Wisdom for Modern Life BIO As a writer, podcaster, and professional speaker, Danièle has been making the Middle Ages fun, entertaining, and accessible for over a decade. A former college professor, she is the author of four books and hundreds of articles on medieval history. The creator and host of The Medieval Podcast, Danièle brings expertise and a sense of humor to the airwaves to dispel common myths about the medieval period, and enriching our understanding of the people of the past. Her writing, videos, and podcast have been used as resources in elementary schools, secondary schools, and universities across North America. The Middle Ages and the Modern World: Facts and Fiction, a course she co-created, is currently offered at eight colleges across Ontario via OntarioLearn. In 2020, Danièle built The Medieval Masterclass for Creators, an online course designed to provide novelists, game developers, and other fiction creators with expert information in a visual format to help them bring their medieval worlds to life. She continues to offer her expertise to creators through one-on-one consulting. Called a “tireless champion promoting medieval studies to both general and academic audiences”, Danièle is the winner of the 2019 Lone Medievalist Prize for Scholarly Outreach for The Medieval Podcast, and the 200+ articles she has contributed to Medievalists.net. When she’s not reading, writing, or recording, Danièle can be found drinking tea, doing Krav Maga, or sometimes building a backyard trebuchet. https://www.danielecybulskie.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/5MinMedievalist Twitter: https://twitter.com/5minmedievalistInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/5minmedievalist/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@5MinMedievalist Learn about your host, Kim Lengling www.kimlenglingauthor.com
