A freshman seminar on Joan of Arc and the art of storymaking. It was a fun class and was, in retrospect, fairly foundational to me as an academic writer but now it's the experience that I try to channel the most whenever I teach about the politics of producing narratives about antiquity

It's about that time of year again....

A meme depicting one night in amour standing over and about to hit with a folding chair a second, similarly clad, knight who is on hands and knees on the ground.

The standing knight is labeled "Me in August." The knight on the ground is labeled "Me in November." The folding chair is labeled "My own syllabi."

The Black Trowel Microgrants are back! Funded through a collective, these are meant to "erode ... barriers to make them more permeable for the next generation of archaeologists." A really great initiative, there's links on how to donate as well. blacktrowelcollective.wordpress.com/2024/07/09/r...

Some examples of academic gatekeeping: 1) telling someone their research “doesn’t count” 2) excluding adjuncts/staff from professional development or funding 3) drawing arbitrary disciplinary boundaries to exclude people 4) reinforcing faculty/staff hierarchies 5) defaulting to blind peer review

when you design your syllabi, remember that the point of education is to get students to engage with something so weird that they never stop thinking about it for the rest of their lives

I am deliberately taking the below out of context (the context is fascinating, but not what I want to talk about.) This sentiment: 'that people studying a thing may also simultaneously enjoy or appreciate it' (derogatory) is why I wrote A MEMORY CALLED EMPIRE and not the book-of-my-postdoc.

Im ALL CAPS excited to tell everyone on here to go and read my super smart colleague’s new book. It’s an innovative look at how trauma theory can reveal new stories Greek tragedy. It’s certain to be a ‘must read’ for anyone interested in ancient drama or anyone interested in trauma theory.

A book with a white ground image of a seated woman receiving a helmet from a returning warrior who stands in front of her. Above this is the book’s title: Demanding Witness: Women and the Trauma of Homecoming in Greek Tragedy.

Here are two things I want people with permanent jobs to know about being a precarious academic: 1. I have never had pay rise. 2. I lose money to work at present. Neither of these are uncommon.

Happy to announce that my early pandemic passion project of trying to figure out why the Dorian invasion still keeps cropping up in archaeological publications is, at long last, finally out in the world! (though, unfortunately, not OA at this time) archaeopresspublishing.com/ojs/index.ph...

This is the only thing I "wrote" in 2023, because my job isn't about single-author writing anymore. But I wrote it and then presented it and then published it for a field that also isn't my job anymore. Everyone agreed with it. Nothing changed. contingentmagazine.org/2023/01/07/a...
