Screenshot for the Social History Society’s Community Exchange blog, which says: Our Community Exchange aims to foster links across history-making spaces-from museums and archives, streets and groups, stage and screen - and to open up dialogue between the many different audiences for social history. We welcome contributions showcasing public history events, as well as think pieces on community history, co-production, or how scholarship can be transformed by conversations beyond the academy.

Have you done some fun work with museums/archives/cultural spaces (anything beyond the academy, essentially) and want to tell people about it? Please do consider writing something for @socialhistsoc.bsky.social’s Community Exchange blog! #SHSConf2025

This is a reminder that the author panel for "Disability in Ancient Egypt and Egyptology: All Our Yesterdays," is happening in approximately 2 weeks, register here if you haven't yet: www.eventbrite.com/e/qa-panel-w...

The Study of Disability in Ancient Egypt and Beyond - The Ancient Near East Today Disability has always been a part of human history, including in ancient Egypt. However, until recently the subject has rarely been studied in Egyptology or in a broader ancient world studies context.

In today's Ancient Near East Today, Alexandra Morris discusses the little-mentioned topic of people with disabilities in ancient Egypt, and explores disability as a complex lived experience: anetoday.org/disability-a...
