Our academic community is, of course, nothing without the wonderful support our students receive from their families, their classmates, and the faculty. Congratulations to all!

Ever wondered how the alphabet became what it is today? Part of the answer lies in Dr. Nathaniel E. Greene's new article (co-authored w/Prof. Jeremy M. Hutton, @uwmadison.bsky.social) investigating the origins of Hebrew, Aramaic, and Phoenician scripts.

A poster advertising the webinar. Text reads: "Why are women's symptoms so often dismissed, misdiagnosed, or disbelieved? This webinar explores the intersection of chronic illness, gender bias, and the credibility gap in healthcare. Drawing on research from her upcoming book, Dr Eilidh Galbraith examines how structural inequalities and medical misogyny shape diagnostic practices, clinical listening, and the ethics of care. Through shared lived experience with panelists Charli Clement, author of "All tangled up in autism and chronic illness," Natalie Busari, founder of "the Nerve of my MS" and Tanya Marlow, speaker and author of "Those who Wait" (2017), this session invites participants to reflect on what it means to be heard and to be believed in a system that too often fails those in pain."
"Incredible Women: Chronic Pain, Credibility, and Gender Bias"
📆 Wednesday 17th Sept, 6.30pm on MS Teams
📢 Dr Eilidh Galbraith discusses the findings of her @abdndivinity.bsky.social @leverhulme.ac.uk research project with a panel of guests.
