What if, hear me out, we supported the researchers we already have (myself & my colleagues included) who are struggling to find finding & research positions as it is, & are frequently looking outside the continent for actual opportunities?

I've been having SO MUCH FUN reading this book by @jbensonink.bsky.social! Only about 100 pages in... But I can't stop giggling and kicking my feet. This is exactly what I needed! (I also need to be friends with Ellie and Constance)

Oh that's going to be a Hard No on mining applicants data for weird anti-EDI stuff??? Check out the letter below if you hold/have applied to Tri-Council funding in Canada! #academia #tricouncil #sshrc

What do you get when you combine traditional Mi’kmaw quill work with furniture-making techniques of the 1800s? A triumph in design that became all the rage in Victorian Nova Scotia.

Hey! Are you sure being on social media is what you need right now? Maybe you'd be better served by a book, a Discord call with friends, or diving face-first into a tub of chocolate pudding. If socials are right? Then great. But please be good to yourselves.

Check out this important new paper, co-written by IPIA scholars Dr. Kisha Supernant ( @archaeomapper.bsky.social) and Solène Mallet Gauthier (@somag.bsky.social), on confronting and disrupting "grey zones" in Canadian archaeology 🏺

A good read!

It's Minnesota State Fair time! It's time for Minnesotan folk art! Here, for example, is Saturn Devouring His Corn, in the seed art category!

Well, UChicago has paused new PhD admissions in my department now, too. One of the flagship departments for anthropology in the US and worldwide. This on top of hum, social thought, social work, and others. What happens to UChicago's brand--the so-called "life of the mind"--now?

Very much looking forward to this book!

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all: “If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.” Israel just killed him.

“We lived here happily for generations.” On the Day of Commemoration of the Great Upheaval, we recognize the tragic events of the Acadian Expulsion and celebrate the resilience of the Acadian community who are still a vibrant part of Canadian culture.

The Fort St-Louis project has wrapped for the season! One last photo - here an archaeologist adopts a spring peeper pose to map a feature (also known as archaeology yoga!) @novascotiamuseum.bsky.social @mnhnovascotia.bsky.social @can-arch.bsky.social #archaeology

OK, gather 'round, kiddies - let's do a "why are lawyers like this" thread. Specifically, let's do a "why does the simplest software come with mandatory IP licenses that assert claims to all the rights you have in the universe, up to and possibly not excluding in your firstborn offspring.

Another blue trade bead! And a mini overview of some of the artifacts that we see from Fort St-Louis - fine and utilitarian ceramics, flakes of stone from ballast flint, and some glass wares. All windows into daily life at the fort! #archaeology @novascotiamuseum.bsky.social @can-arch.bsky.social

A) people recoil in horror when I tell them the amount of reviewing I do in a year B) sometimes I do service because, if I didn't, a person with less power would be harmed (e.g., tenure) C) women are treated very differently when we say no to these types of requests

Want to see more of this field season’s artifacts (of course you do)? Stop by the Open House at the Old Courthouse Museum in Barrington Thursday July 10 from 6-8pm to see what we’ve found! #archaeology #fieldwork @novascotiamuseum.bsky.social @can-arch.bsky.social

Another stellar year for artifacts at Fort St-Louis - here are a few of our highlights thus far, including a green glazed earthenware jar, a tiny early pipe bowl, and a large bit of French tin glazed ceramic #archaeology #CanArch @novascotiamuseum.bsky.social @can-arch.bsky.social

Extremely satisfied with the environmental archaeology session I hosted at the #CAA2025 ! Beautiful range of papers about charcoal, seeds, soils, animal bones & DNA. Especially happy with the fact that many presenters were graduate students or ECRs @can-arch.bsky.social

In Saskatoon we got pemmican, in St John's we get chocolate. I love the CAAs #CAA2025
