Mein neuer Text für @volksverpetzer.de - warum wir es in den USA mit Faschismus zu tun haben, was Forschende mit Schwerpunkt Faschismus dazu sagen, welche Kriterien es gibt und teilweiser Realitätsverweigerung in großen deutschen Medien. www.volksverpetzer.de/analyse/trum...

And it's out! Congratulations to the editors and participants. It was my first paper after my career break.

Weihnachtspause steht bevor: Zeit zum #Einkuscheln! 🙃 Vorher sollten wir uns aber genauer ansehen, warum Narrativ vom unbefristeten Mittelbau, der nicht Prof werden will & sich einkuschelt, so problematisch ist. & warum es dazu beiträgt, System zulasten von #IchBinHanna zu stützen! #ArbeitInDerWiss

Classicist friends, I need help! I vaguely recall using a book on The Constitution of Athens when I was a student. I believe it was in French, published by Les Belles Lettres maybe, in that blue collection on the Classics? I looked for it online but cannot find it. Does anyone have a reference?

The finished copies of my book have arrived! So excited to share this with the world and so honored by these endorsements from Dan-el Padilla Peralta, Catherine Nixey, Tim Whitmarsh, A-J Levine, and others. It's 20% off today on the Hachette website: www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/candi...

I don't post much and usually not political stuff, but what's going on in Germany right now is scary - strong Wannsee Conference vibes -, and everyone should be aware of it. Unsure how to get rid of that powerless feeling that's been creeping in over the last few months.

Dear colleagues, if you have a paper to publish that relates to Latin and the Roman period lato sensu, don't hesitate to send it to the journal Latomus. It's a peer-reviewed journal which works *much faster* than many.

This got published faster than I imagined! Featuring very fine colleagues giving their latest insights on all things fifth century western Roman empire. I was asked to contribute on its magistri militum, for which I examined the wider chain-of-command and the delegation of military authority.

Just published! My short article "On the Fourth-Century Reception of Eusebius' Ecclesiastical History" (part of a roundtable on Michael Hollerich's fine book Making Christian History) has appeared in Church History. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

For any who are in Berlin tomorrow, you are warmly invited to the Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften for the 2023 Hans-Lietzmann-Vorlesung. I'll be receiving the Alexander-Böhlig-Preis and giving a short talk (in German) on my book _Eusebius the Evangelist_. Details at link.
