A black poster featuring orange and blue Chinese characters reading 荷马史诗与气候变化, "Climate Change in the Ancient World." There is a blue wave of the ocean next to a beige drawing of an ancient Greek maiden with a headpiece and handle like those of an amphora.

Today on the blog, Jinrui Zhang discusses his public engagement initiative in China, “Echoes of Antiquity,” funded by the Ancient Worlds, Modern Communities initiative.

ADOBE 👏🏼 READER 👏🏼 SHOULD 👏🏼 DEFAULT 👏🏼 TO 👏🏼 ENABLE 👏🏼 SCROLLING 👏🏼. I'm sure there's a reason why someone wouldn't want scrolling enabled at some point, but why on earth would they assume that is the norm?? Don't people typically want to scroll in their PDFs???

High school Latin teacher friends, we'd love to have some of your students at this!

Have you seen this petition yet? Save Liberal Arts at Agnes Scott

Rahm Emanuel speaking to Megyn Kelly on her Sirius XM show

A lot of ancient sources blame the fall of Rome on things like sexual deviance and erosion of traditional morals. Those same sources were written by ideologues trying to scare people for political gain. Sound familiar? My latest for Pharos: pharos.vassarspaces.net/2025/11/12/m...

My Message to Muslim New Yorkers — and Everyone Who Calls This City Home. YouTube video by Zohran Mamdani for NYC

If you do this, you are not an advocate for disability rights.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
