Deeply grateful to the #IMC2026 delegates and attendees who bought most of the books I had planned to buy while I was still browsing. You saved me from spending the rest of my savings! I still managed, however, to salvage a few titles from stand of @edinburghup.bsky.social

While out trekking near the Turkish-Syrian border, one may end up stumbling upon an aqueduct from Late Antiquity/the Early Byzantine period in the middle of nowhere. This is not called the cradle of civilisation for nothing. #LateAntiquity #ByzantineStudies #Archaeology #AncientBluesky #MedievalSky

My goodness, we've lost so many towering scholars in the Social Sciences, particularly in the IR/Political Science field, over the past few years. As a political theory student, Habermas was impenetrable, and I cursed his name. More seasoned, I can truly appreciate his work.

Better late than never. My paper, “Ravandal Castle in Time: Memory, Ruin, and Heritage on the Syria–Turkey Border,” has been accepted to the panel “1516 – Time for Change: Temporalities & Castles.” Thursday, 9 July, 09:00 a.m.
