Why do we even bother with endnotes--this is my personal pet peeve as a historian, I need to read the spicy, sassy, whiny footnotes immediately

fuck me for being this person, i guess, but public universities are a civic good and shouldn’t be run like businesses. and if you’re going to insist on running them like so, at least do some market research. students like their professors; they don’t want MOOCs taught by ChatGPT.

Cover image for edited volume 'Women, Wealth and Power in the Roman Republic'. Depicts detail of a gilt bronze statue of a Roman woman. Pergola, Italy. c. 70-30 BCE.

Book description: In the Roman Republic, elite women were legally permitted to control substantial assets – and many demonstrably were in direct control of their wealth. They were also the mothers, wives and daughters of the politicians who built Rome's empire and, in a time of high mortality, could find themselves running households that did not contain adult men. This volume explores the political and social consequences of elite female wealth. It combines case studies of individual women, such as Licinia, wife of C. Gracchus, Mucia Tertia, Fulvia and Octavia Minor, with broader surveys of the institutional frameworks and social conventions that constrained and enabled women's wealth and its consequences. The book contributes to the recent upsurge of interest in re-evaluating the role of women in Republican Rome and will be invaluable for scholars and students alike.

Catherine Steel and I are thrilled to announce the publication of our edited volume 'Women, Wealth and Power in the Roman Republic': www.cambridge.org/core/books/w...

Tara is smiling and holding up her book, A Womb of One's Own: Lost Histories of Childbirth in Ancient Rome.

It's here! My author copies have arrived. There's still time to pre-order before the official release date on May 5th: www.ucpress.edu/books/a-womb...

People will tell you we have come really far, and that's true. It is also true that we are in the middle of a fascist backlash against women's rights that will have you thinking that anyone who acknowledges sex and gender is perverse and needs to be silenced.

Ohhh check it out my chat with @estelleprnq.bsky.social about witch hunts is live on her YouTube now! Place bets now on how long it takes me to start talking about dick magic.

Very honoured to have my first ever publication be a co-authored chapter with @hanb.bsky.social in Bloomsbury A Cultural History of Gender in Antiquity! 🤓🥂

So all we’re getting from the @britishmuseum.bsky.social is three sentences that evade the question and make no defence of the term “ancient Palestine” in the face of the Zionist rewriting of history?!

This is what genocidal complicity looks like.

Israel is trying to rewrite history – and British institutions risk helping them do it Israel is trying to rewrite ancient history. In Palestine, Israel has systematically destroyed ancient heritage and made colonial land grabs of archaeological sites like the ancient Palestinian tow…

New article from me for @middleeastmonitor.bsky.social on how museums (like the British Museum), universities and other institutions are complicit in the Zionist genocidal project of rewriting history and erasing ancient Palestine.

Read: www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260215-isr...

"Historians, museums and universities all function as necessary accomplices to the political project that Israel is engaging in. And they are recruited to this ideological project by organisations like UKLFI...Israel’s attempt to rewrite history is also a dangerous attack on academic freedom." 🏺

Israel is trying to rewrite ancient history. In Palestine, Israel has systematically destroyed ancient heritage and made colonial land grabs of archaeological sites.

Fortunate to attend #ASCS47 at the last-minute in Auckland this week. A great chance to see old friends and meet new ones! Always wonderful to see the supportiveness of our community on full display.

If anyone wants to put together a panel on Roman Social History for ASCS in Feb 2027, let’s chat!

Had a fantastic week in Auckland at #ASCS47 this year! I was privileged to present on the AWAWS sponsored panel ‘Home is Where the Hatred Is’ with Katherine Prouting and Meg Challis. Looking forward to the next one!

Sarah Pomeroy built her career writing about ancient women who lived in the E Med, W Asia + Egypt. Her investment in Whiteness and Orientalism, which mimicks Trumpian fascist talking points, epitomizes everything that is rotten in Classics. Same for the other Zios tantruming on the list.
