McMaster university is hiring an Associate Professor or Professor with Tenur of History and Medicine. They are looking for someone whose work bridges humanities-based historical inquiry and contemporary infectious diseases scholarship. #histmed #histstm

fuck me for being this person, i guess, but public universities are a civic good and shouldn’t be run like businesses. and if you’re going to insist on running them like so, at least do some market research. students like their professors; they don’t want MOOCs taught by ChatGPT.

Catherine Steel and I are thrilled to announce the publication of our edited volume 'Women, Wealth and Power in the Roman Republic': www.cambridge.org/core/books/w... @universitypress.cambridge.org #AncientBlueSky #ClassicsBlueSky #BlueSkyClassics

🚨🚨🚨 🇮🇱 BOMBED NEXT TO THE UNESCO SITE OF BAALBEK This adds to the 🇺🇸🇮🇱 axis targeting of a series of heritage sites in Iran, Palestine and Lebanon over the past week (see post 👇 🧵)

Thrilled that Women, Wealth and Power in the Roman Republic is now published: www.cambridge.org/core/books/w... @awaws.org @lewismarkwebb.bsky.social @resaustrales.bsky.social @acrsn.bsky.social @womenknowhistory.bsky.social @womensclasscaucus.bsky.social @universitypress.cambridge.org

It's here! My author copies have arrived. There's still time to pre-order before the official release date on May 5th: www.ucpress.edu/books/a-womb...

People will tell you we have come really far, and that's true. It is also true that we are in the middle of a fascist backlash against women's rights that will have you thinking that anyone who acknowledges sex and gender is perverse and needs to be silenced.

Ohhh check it out my chat with @estelleprnq.bsky.social about witch hunts is live on her YouTube now! Place bets now on how long it takes me to start talking about dick magic. youtu.be/G6mIrBobh0Y?...

Very honoured to have my first ever publication be a co-authored chapter with @hanb.bsky.social in Bloomsbury A Cultural History of Gender in Antiquity! 🤓🥂

So all we’re getting from the @britishmuseum.bsky.social is three sentences that evade the question and make no defence of the term “ancient Palestine” in the face of the Zionist rewriting of history?! This is what genocidal complicity looks like.

New article from me for @middleeastmonitor.bsky.social on how museums (like the British Museum), universities and other institutions are complicit in the Zionist genocidal project of rewriting history and erasing ancient Palestine. Read: www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260215-isr...

"Historians, museums and universities all function as necessary accomplices to the political project that Israel is engaging in. And they are recruited to this ideological project by organisations like UKLFI...Israel’s attempt to rewrite history is also a dangerous attack on academic freedom." 🏺

Israel is trying to rewrite ancient history. In Palestine, Israel has systematically destroyed ancient heritage and made colonial land grabs of archaeological sites. #OPINION by Dr Marchella Ward Read: www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260215-isr...

Fortunate to attend #ASCS47 at the last-minute in Auckland this week. A great chance to see old friends and meet new ones! Always wonderful to see the supportiveness of our community on full display. If anyone wants to put together a panel on Roman Social History for ASCS in Feb 2027, let’s chat!

Had a fantastic week in Auckland at #ASCS47 this year! I was privileged to present on the AWAWS sponsored panel ‘Home is Where the Hatred Is’ with Katherine Prouting and Meg Challis. Looking forward to the next one!

Is this prominent Marxist with a doctorate making a joke?? No she's a woman. I must get in there and Explain Things To Her.

This past week The University of Adelaide hosted the 19th AMPHORAE Conference. A huge congratulations to all presenters for their excellent papers! This week also included a tour of our Art Gallery and a Zine Workshop! A truly remarkable week filled with conversation, networking and fun 🏛️🏺💛

A little boost for the day: 1,500 reads of my book on the Peripatetics reached www.researchgate.net/profile/Han-... via @researchgate

Please don’t forget that the call for papers for the @socstudyofthepast.bsky.social conference is open until the end of the month! The only way we get better subject organisations that represent us (and are pro-🇵🇸) is by putting our energy into them… Read more here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Sarah Pomeroy built her career writing about ancient women who lived in the E Med, W Asia + Egypt. Her investment in Whiteness and Orientalism, which mimicks Trumpian fascist talking points, epitomizes everything that is rotten in Classics. Same for the other Zios tantruming on the list.

I’ve literally never been more excited for anything in my life than I am for Tales of the Shire

Okay, why does this book matter? We held a conference in Melbourne in 2023, believing democratic-decay scholarship needs to pay attention to Rome, the only old democracy to fall from internal causes. I don’t need to say why that matters now. We want to bring #ancientbluesky and #polisci together. 🧵

Out now! A collaborative volume that explores provenance, pedagogy, participatory programming and ethics for managing ancient Mediterranean collections in this region by #museum experts and researchers. 🏺📜🖼🏛 www.taylorfrancis.com/books/edit/1...

This. In ‘Immaculate Forms’ I wrote about breast tissue of those assigned male at birth - men can get breast cancer too - and using hormones so trans women can breastfeed. Bodies are far less fixed than we may think

🎉 NEW ARTICLE! 🎉 http://www.workingcl... Dr. Christina Hotalen (drchristinah.bsky.social) was not best pleased with Gladiator II. In this article she takes a look at the flaws, foibles, and faux pas in the film, examining its potential as an ideologically-driven story that panders to the right.

American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. theatln.tc/IuULQFiY

Sharing with alt-text. This is the final message of 23-year-old Palestinian journalist Hossam Shabat. Israeli forces killed Shabat in a targeted airstrike on Monday. "Do not stop speaking about Gaza," he wrote. "Keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free."

Israel just committed *the largest child massacre in its history*, according to Haaretz. Two hundred Palestinian children murdered in a single day, with direct support from the US and UK, and zero outrage from Western media. What stage of barbarism is this...

If there’s one thing I can do it’s make a bunch of niche South Australian references and I think that’s very funny of me. Is there a series of SA Amphorae niche bits? Maybe…
