#twitterstorians: can anyone recommend a good book on the French Fourth Republic and the transition to the Fifth?

Racists want white Northern European/American actors playing ancient Greek roles because they believe the ANCIENT Greeks were white, not MODERN Greeks. Nazis claimed the Greeks were white Aryans but since became corrupted by racial mixing during the Hellenistic, Roman, & especially Ottoman periods.

A beautiful obituary for the great historian Averil Cameron by @tigerlilyrocks.bsky.social

Why do we even bother with endnotes--this is my personal pet peeve as a historian, I need to read the spicy, sassy, whiny footnotes immediately

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

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...
