Working at the Allard Pierson Museum in Amsterdam this summer as co-curator on an exhibition about ancient and Transatlantic slavery. This is a sales contract of an enslaved; soul-crushing to see some of the objects we curate, but very grateful to be able to tell this story. More soon!

Our last of three keynotes revealed! 'Theory from below' by Masen Iwaisi, 'Just do Something' by Sadie Watson, and 'Fail Better' by Gabe Moshenska. Couldn't be happier about this line-up: great things come in three and TAG keynotes are multivocal. tag2025.hosted.york.ac.uk/en/keynote-s...

Setting up the classroom for a slow archaeology & storytelling workshop. I used two prehistoric objects (at least for the students): rotary phone and an ammonite :) Some amazing myths were made!

And it only gets better from there :)

I loved it! It's a wild ride you will not regret

That's the sweetest compliment! And I do feel that the majority of my work is taken up by chasing phantoms of some sort..

I was asked to appear on BBC Uncanny to say something about Roman ghosts in York! It was fun, though they cut all critical and nuanced comments on ghost stories and archaeology. Reduced to 10 sec. 'here is an archaeologist who points out a Roman road, so the story must be true'😂 lesson learnt.

Text on image: Keynote speaker Mazen Iwaisi, Queen's University Belfast. Paper title: Theory from below: Family Museums as Spaces of Knowledge Production and Epistemological Resistance in Palestine Bio: Mazen Iwaisi is a Palestinian archaeologist whose work is focused on the geopolitics of Palestinian archaeology practice and theory. He has obtained his PhD from Queen's University Belfast on the concept of archaeo-politics in the making of the Palestinian National Spatial Plan —his research centres on archaeology and cultural heritage and how they relate to spatial and urban planning.

It's time to announce our first keynote speaker for this year's TAG: Dr Mazen Iwaisi!

He will be speaking on how local Palestinian communities in the West Bank embody theory in action through family-based museums! Check it out here: tag2025.hosted.york.ac.uk/keynote-spea...
