Looking forward to representing @uhiarchaeology.bsky.social & co-leading a workshop at #SGSAHSummer25 today with @orkat3.bsky.social on anthropocentrism, the Animal Turn $ zooarch. There will of course be a smattering of #VikingBirds from me. Sadly, I'll only be online, but Kath will be in Glasgow.

Fresh from my first ever @sgsah.bsky.social summer school session, an excellent presentation on Academic Conferences and Networking led by @michaela-hrus.bsky.social

I'm looking forward to her Developing Self-Confidence session tomorrow.
