Amen.

I'm 100% pro-Babatha, but I'm a little concerned about the imperial advance of Late Antiquity into the early second century. (Also, "hi!" from up the road.)

What does “fires” mean here?

Last Fall I spent a semester in Budapest in very sophisticated seminars entirely in English and was repeatedly amazed to realize I was the only native speaker in the room.

I’m confused. They seem to suggest that this view of categorization is inherent in adopting a predictive processing approach. But there are in fact PP theories which don’t do categorization this way, right?

Bronze figurine of an enslaved person from Roman Britain on a conference poster advertising a conference next month in Toronto

Bluesky friends, I am happy to advertise a conference on ancient and medieval slave trading in the Mediterranean, co-organized by myself and Elizabeth Fentress, to be held in Toronto next month (April 15-17, 2026). Contact me via email (rather than here) or the email on the poster for more info!
