Tuning in (3pm PT on Nov. 6) to hear Mason Shrader (PhD student, Brown University) talk about "Digging into Disability: How Experience Affects Theory." Join me! www.youtube.com/live/5Fg_QiU...

Wonderful to see @debscavator.bsky.social, @tibg1312.bsky.social & myself in print for the latest issue of the Classical Review. Our piece gives a "state of the field" overview to the study of Disability in Egyptian, Greek and Roman Antiquity. It's Open Access and can be accessed via the QT below.

Included is a state-of-the-field piece about disability in antiquity (open access), which I co-wrote with @horusofnekhen.bsky.social and @tibg1312.bsky.social. See where we're at with this subfield!

chuffed.org/project/1531... muhammad from gaza needs to survive a tumor, but the costs of his surgery are incredibly expensive! people of bluesky, can we raise enough to save him? donate what you can if you can as much as you can, and if you can't donate, share and boost with those who can donate!

chuffed.org/project/1531... mohammed needs emergency surgery for the tumor growing in his right eye and much of his head! furthermore, the family is malnourished! donate what you can if you can as much as you can, and if you can't donate, share and boost with those who can donate!

…and that’s problematic as a discourse because it negates any theory of change. If you can’t articulate that things are getting worse, you can’t strategize about how to make them better.

There are now 450 entries in GAERHF. So I made a video of scrolling through the "List" view. And paused to click on a few along the way. That was a bit random. This all neither here nor there yet. Much work to do! I had to compress it a bit to get under 100 mb. #GlobalAntiquity #GlobalDH gaerhf.org

Going to share this post from @jgsseeerd41.bsky.social as a screenshot w/ the link to the family fundraiser as the video shows more of the baby than is safe for her (creepers be creeping & I want the family protected from those people). Donate and share. www.muslimgiving.org/arfat

Next Saturday 11th October, I'll be travelling up to Barnsley to deliver a lecture for the wonderful Hapy Egyptology Society. This lecture will be an overview to my work on disability in Ancient Egypt, focusing primarily on what we can tell about the ancient Egyptian's attitudes towards disability.

Excuse me while I blow my own 🎺. On Thursday morning, I'm discussing "What next for collections management?" with Aruna Bhuageerutty, @davidgelsthorpe.bsky.social & @horusofnekhen.bsky.social on for the annual Collections Trust conference #MuseumDocumentation collectionstrust.org.uk/events/confe...

Had the absolute pleasure today of going to New York University's London Campus to deliver two guest lectures to Dr. Alexandra Lee's students on Medicine, Health and Disability in Ancient Egypt. I've been fortunate enough to come back and lecture for multiple years now. Always a pleasure. :)

My colleagues @horusofnekhen.bsky.social, @tibg1312.bsky.social, and I wrote a state-of-the-field-type article about disability in antiquity that was recently published and is open access. This article just gives a brief history of the subfield, with a discussion of future directions.

Maybe it's dorky, but I'll introduce myself. I'm a nondisabled university professor who specializes in disability in ancient Greece. I approach this all through the lens of disability studies and critical disability theory, and advocate for disabled students in Classics and Archaeology.
