It's really cool when people are nice to each other, and by PURE COINCIDENCE there's a quick and easy way to do something amazingly positive right here. Nominate someone for our annual awards, and feel the satisfaction of doing something lovely. docs.google.com/form...

If there is anyone in our network you wish to nominate for this award, the time is now! There are multiple categories💪. Flavia Vasconcellos Amaral (me behind this account!) was the 2024 Educator Classicist Award Winner. You or someone you know can be the next!

We also want to thank you all for this year's donation box. We collected $380.00 in cash and there was certainly much more donated directly to Ma Mawi Chii Itata Centre via Qr-code.

Hey network! 2025 CAC was a blast and we had two amazing panels: Queer and gendered spaces and Public Scholarship and Public Humanities. We would like to thank all presenters and attendees!
