Robin DG Kelley on the Declaration

Got my physical copy of this exciting volume! Please go read the chapters in this volume edited by @chrissieplastow.bsky.social and Hilary Lehmann.

The excitement continues!!! Come to the SCS in Boston in January to see @dominicmachado.bsky.social and I give our joint paper “Uncritical Fabulation - Subjection, Subjectivity, and the Study of Slavery.” Excited to be going back to the SCS in person! 🧐🧐

Pls read. @javalac.bsky.social and I working on something about this….

Dramatic announcement incoming: After over 3 years yours truly has written for the SCS blog once again. Stay tuned for “Fatherlessness in Antiquity and Now” this week.

Read it!!!

This one’s been a long time coming! @drmichaeljtaylor.bsky.social!!!

It’s out!!! Late on posting this but this new chapter and the volume it’s published in is out now! Shout out to Hilary Lehmann and @chrissieplastow.bsky.social for their great editorial work and to @dominicmachado.bsky.social @foodoriented.bsky.social amongst others who read this whole before!!

Whoa! Didn’t know this was coming today but glad to see it!! One of the most enjoyable classes I’ve taught at holy cross

¡Sorpresa! He escrito un libro para @despertaferroed.bsky.social. Es una historia de Roma que nunca se ha escrito hasta ahora: está contada usando únicamente fuentes escritas por mujeres antiguas. ¡Os iré contando historias de las que aparecen! El 4 de febrero en vuestras librerías e internet.

Check it out! A blurb about a Classics/Asia symposium I hosted earlier this month. @bauerle.bsky.social @youngrichardkim.bsky.social @toriflee.bsky.social @dominicmachado.bsky.social @aaacc.bsky.social

if you are looking to send your book review to an outlet with editorial ethics (and also open access), I’d suggest NECJ crossworks.holycross.edu/necj/

so what conclusions should we come to when BMCR publishes a review of a scholar removed from his post for sexual harassment, followed by this review just days later?

the guest editors have extended the deadline to Nov 28. make sure to get in touch with them if you're interested! #ResDiffJournal

🚨CFP for #ResDiff7 is now available!🚨 Res Difficiles 7 will take place on 13th March 2026 with Dr Samuel Agbamu as our keynote speaker. Submit an abstract by 12th January 2026: resdifficiles.com/cfp/

This fr. Absurd and ridiculous

CALLING ALL POTENTIAL BOOK REVIEWERS See something on our booklist you'd like to review? We'll be delighted to publish you! All the steps of the review process are laid out here. We look forward to hearing from you! rheaclassicalreviews.com/for-reviewers/

We are delighted to announce scholars Mary Jane Cuyler, Caroline Johnson Hodge, @chancebonar.bsky.social and Mark Ellison as this year's Shohet Scholars Grant recipients. The Shohet grants support original research on the Ancient Mediterranean. Read on for more about their projects!

Caroline Johnson Hodge, professor at College of the Holy Cross, will be cataloguing burial sites in Rome related to the Christian cult of the dead. (Here she is in Ostia Antica!)

This is an amazing opportunity. A chance to think about race with world leading scholars with a pedagogy explicitly centered around an ethic of care! Apply!!!!

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...

Go watch the pod and read the chapter it’s based on. On point

All of this for some students watching a documentary on campus. Fucking ridiculous.

This is a public lecture. You should join us! Never been to BC? drop me an email. and I'll tell you how to get here!

HAPPY MAY DAY! WORKERS, ARTISTS, and STUDENTS OF THE WORLD! This is how I'll be celebrating, consider joining me.

This is going to be excellent. So excited to host @dominicmachado.bsky.social at Brooklyn College. AND, it has helped us learn some history and inspire the future. I learned BC staged the Haitian Creole Renaissance masterpiece in 1980 and I hear a revival may be in the works!

Go check out Kelly Nguyen’s brilliant article on the ancient and modern racializations of the Gauls - it’s a game changer
