Heureux d’avoir présenté à Winnipeg au congrès de la @cacscec.bsky.social : “Thought is the thought of thought — Tensions between translation and the teaching of ancient history to high school students”. Toujours chouette de revoir les collègues et la grande famille de la CAC. À l’année prochaine !

The 2025 @cacscec.bsky.social was brilliant! Safe travels to everyone and many thanks to the organizing committee and student volunteers!

Time to brag on my amazing students: these are the only undergraduate presenters at the @cacscec.bsky.social and they ate! Thoughtful, sharp, and passionate about how they contribute to our community. I am still glowing with pride.

Thrilled at our hosting of the @cacscec.bsky.social annual meeting in at the U of Winnipeg. Highlights include our undergrads presenting a paper, the keynote by @sentantiq.bsky.social, & brilliant daily book raffles organized by @drflaviavamaral.bsky.social. Now the banquet & a welcome long weekend!

Update: this was great! Everyone was wonderful. Thank you @cacscec.bsky.social and @conorwhately.bsky.social for the visit, the food, and the conversations.

Grateful to represent @peoplingthepast.bsky.social at the @cacscec.bsky.social Public Humanities panel! Thanks @melissakafunke.bsky.social for capturing me attending via the joys of technology!

I hope everyone is having a great time at the @cacscec.bsky.social conference! May all the panels finish on time and the coffee never run out. 😁
