Woolf Institute (en-GB)
Published January 20, 2026 by Emma Olson In this blog post, I would like to share a little bit about the progress of my PhD research in Medieval History that I conduct as a Woolf PhD Scholar. I research the role of sound and music in interfaith conflict in a medieval kingdom called the Crown of Aragon, a confederated monarchy that included Catalonia, Valencia, Majorca, and parts of southern France.
Opinion: Community partnerships formed after Helene helping recovery
The end of the year is often a time of reflection on our experiences, what we have overcome, and how we have changed. Those of us in Western North Carolina will inevitably look back at our continued recovery from Helene. In Buncombe County, the French Broad rose 24 feet; many lives were lost; 40% of our beloved trees were damaged; and almost 60% of properties were affected. The impact is still visible — rivers have moved, forest hillsides were swept clear, and towns destroyed.

Hey Wildcats, what’s with the aversion to pants?
Picture this: it’s nine o’clock in the morning, the sun is shining, birds are chirping. However, since it’s March in Oregon, it’s 35 degrees outside, and there’s frost on the grass. Someone of sound mind might bundle up appropriately by wearing jeans and a coat. Linfield students approach this weather differently. Yesterday morning, I checked my weather app before leaving my apartment. It was in the 30 to 40 degree range, so I decided not to torture myself and grabbed my winter coat.
Give me a (spring) break
In a move to stop the spread of the coronavirus amongst its students, Linfield University has cancelled this year’s spring break. While there were good intentions behind this move, it was a controversial one for a reason. Students need some time to relax—especially during an already-stressful pandemic.
“Bly Manor” is the weird cousin of “Hill House”
Emma Olson, Opinions Editor December 4, 2020 After enjoying Netflix’s The Haunting of Hill House, I eagerly awaited the release of its follow-up series, The Haunting of Bly Manor. It did not disappoint. This series, completely separate from Hill House despite using a few of the same actors, followed American Dani Clayton in her new job as an au pair in the English countryside. Caring for two wealthy children in old Bly Manor seems like the perfect gig for her.
New Librarian: A Pro at Overcoming Obstacles
Emma Olson, Opinions Editor December 3, 2020 Maureen Barney’s office is about what you’d expect from a librarian, but there is one oddity: the boxes. “You’re the first person who’s been in here,” Barney tells me as I pull up a seat. “Besides me.” The Linfield community doesn’t ignore the library that much. I’m Barney’s first visitor because she’s new here. She worked at Concordia University for ten years before it closed down for good. “They shut down very suddenly.
Don’t be a Grinch this November
Thanksgiving and Christmas don’t have to be separate. Art by Elliott Montbriand As of November 7 this year, my aunt and uncle have already put up their Christmas tree—well, their first one of the year. This decision stirred up controversy in the family group chat: some say it’s too early to start getting in the Christmas spirit, and that even though it’s a plastic tree that won’t dry out, it’s ridiculous to put it up already. These people are wrong.
The Travis Scott burger: overhyped, underwhelming, but not that bad
Emma Olson, Emma Inge, and Alexandra Feller October 11, 2020 The Travis Scott Burger is trending on TikTok with over 49.7 million views, and The Linfield Review staffers couldn’t help themselves from seeing what all the hype is about. So, staff members Alexandra Feller, Emma Olson and Emma Inge decided to taste test it at our local McMinnville McDonalds while listening to “Goosebumps” by Travis Scott on repeat.

Emma Olson, Writer March 17, 2019 Filed under Arts & Entertainment Linfield Theatre recently presented “She Kills Monsters,” a play about Dungeons & Dragons, sisterhood, being queer, and the 90s.

What Happened at Roswell? (UFO Series Post #1)
A road sign in New Mexico. Photo by Bruce Warrington on Unsplash This is the first post in a series of four in which I’ll be discussing the details and plausibility of various UFO sightings. I like to consider myself an extraterrestrial enthusiast, but I am by no means an expert on the topic, and I don’t have many opinions on the subject that are completely developed. Because of this, I will try not to give any conclusive opinions on whether I think any of these sightings are fact or fiction.
