And of you’re looking for an explainer on WHY the British Museum is erasing Palestine, I wrote one a few months back: www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/brit...

Today on #BetwixtTheSheets, I am talking to the utterly spectacular Maddie Pelling about the mystery of Princess Caraboo in 18th century Bath Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

Your mythological correspondent, spotting classical influences at the Met Gala! 🏺 Here we have Anne Hathaway wearing the goddess Eirene on this hand-painted Michael Kors dress (inspired by Ode on a Grecian Urn, apparently).

Ive just finished reading the LOTR trilogy for the first time and I genuinely one of my favourite parts of the ending was Bill the Pony donkey kicking Bill Ferny. I did also enjoy all the emotions… thanks Tolkien.

Pretty sure this is how Eleanor of Aquitaine got her job too. 👑

Happy to announce that I have been accepted to complete a PhD at ACU! Topic so far: Reassessing Perceptions of Female Healers in Early Christianity. Looking forward to diving in!

ATTENTION, EVERYBODY 📢 It's finally here! At long last, I can share the cover for my new book, FORBIDDEN FRUIT: THE SECRET, SCANDALOUS HISTORY OF CONTRACEPTION AND ABORTION, coming this January from @putnambooks @penguinrandomhouse

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

No paywall copy of the article in the Times about unwanted sexual advances by Simon Goldhill at Cambridge. Thank god students in 21st century report this shit and the universities take it seriously archive.ph/2026.04.09-1...

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...

Our book has now appeared, a bit ahead of schedule. Its in Open Access, meaning the chapters are all free to download either as epub or pdf from this link. I’ll put a thread together on what the individual chapters are about. www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi...
