Averil was brilliant, kind, and generous. A life well lived and also a huge loss. She and my PhD advisor Liz Clark were very close, so I got to know her just a bit beyond the scholarship. She had a profound effect on Roman and Byzantine history

Avis aux intéressés! J'aurais le plaisir d'enseigner un cours sur la Septante cet été. Cette traduction ancienne de l'Ancien Testament a joué un rôle important tant dans le monde juif que chez les premiers chrétiens. Le cours proposera un survol de ces questions et du canon de l'Ancien Testament.

The latest Pasts Imperfect is out! 📚 This week, Nandini Pandey, Niek Janssen & Christopher Londa discuss enslaved readers & writers in Roman antiquity. Then, Venice & the Mongols, a podcast on Cahokia, ancient astrological practices, ancient world journals from @yaleclassicslib.bsky.social & more.

What is marketed as AI “innovation” is, in practice, a consolidation of global labor hierarchies and a commodification of African knowledge, write Marché Arends and Kathryn Cleary, drawing on their year-long investigation supported by the Pulitzer Center and published by Africa Uncensored.

I look forward to talking about corrections! As I was preparing the paper and looked through my old notes, it turned out that this was the very first topic I tried to tackle at the beginning of my DPhil — back then I thought I could cover all its aspects in a couple of pages...

oh that's nice. see you in Denver!

I care about the morality of AI use in the classroom because how we teach people to write is how we teach people to think---not just about ideas, but about other people and about the use of power over those other people

1. Did Sparta's fear of Athens cause the Peloponnesian War? ○ Yes ○ No, but I mean, yeah, sort of * required question

My employer asks me to complete a survey on AI usage for which this is the first question (required):
