My job is often to help students understand things that they aren’t good at doing yet.

About 30 years after I first saw John Speed’s 1676 map of York, today I was working on a region labeled “Z.” Or is that a “2“? There’s both an X and a 3 nearby… confusing context!

Talkback session after the matinee and my brother and faculty colleagues after the evening performance.
