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.
The Hapy Egyptology Society 

Attitudes to Disability in Ancient Egypt

Born with Cerebral Palsy, Kyle Jordan has been passionate about ancient Egypt from an early age. He completed his masters degree at University College London, where his thesis explored the use and significance of disabled bodies within early societies in Egypt.

The many lectures he has given have proven to be thought-provoking, occasionally funny and often moving.

The Cooper Gallery in Barnsley 

Saturday 11th October at 4:15pm

A buffet is included afterwards with tea or coffee

Tickets are £15 (£14 for members) from the Cooper Gallery. They can be reserved by calling the Cooper Gallery on 01226 775678 or by visiting the Hapy Society website at hapysociety dot org. Cash sales only, please

Cathcart’s work is amazing. I think Hincks still doesn’t get as much recognition in Egyptian philology as he should. Loved your podcast on History Extra!

Dr Emmet Jackson @emmetjackson.bsky.social · 10/02/2025
This is an amazing read and great to see Dr Hincks get the credit he deserves. As Irving Finkel so eloquently put it, he was ‘a f&€king genius!’

A lovely piece by Faith Nolan on one of the first Egyptian objects to enter the @nmireland.bsky.social from the @theees.bsky.social - just one of the many objects from the EES that form the majority of Ireland’s Egyptian collections www.museum.ie/en-IE/Collec...

This is depressing reading on the erasure of humanities at Cardiff - a department that saved me, and my PhD, from another university ruined by cuts in the humanities.
