Heureux d’avoir présenté à Winnipeg au congrès de la @cacscec.bsky.social : “Thought is the thought of thought — Tensions between translation and the teaching of ancient history to high school students”. Toujours chouette de revoir les collègues et la grande famille de la CAC. À l’année prochaine !

Group photo of the organizing committee and student volunteers of the 2025 CAC meeting. All posed in front of a grey Tyndall stone wall.

The 2025 @cacscec.bsky.social was brilliant! Safe travels to everyone and many thanks to the organizing committee and student volunteers!

Time to brag on my amazing students: these are the only undergraduate presenters at the @cacscec.bsky.social and they ate! Thoughtful, sharp, and passionate about how they contribute to our community. I am still glowing with pride.

Thrilled at our hosting of the @cacscec.bsky.social annual meeting in at the U of Winnipeg. Highlights include our undergrads presenting a paper, the keynote by @sentantiq.bsky.social, & brilliant daily book raffles organized by @drflaviavamaral.bsky.social. Now the banquet & a welcome long weekend!

Update: this was great! Everyone was wonderful. Thank you @cacscec.bsky.social and @conorwhately.bsky.social for the visit, the food, and the conversations.

Grateful to represent @peoplingthepast.bsky.social at the @cacscec.bsky.social Public Humanities panel! Thanks @melissakafunke.bsky.social for capturing me attending via the joys of technology!

I hope everyone is having a great time at the @cacscec.bsky.social conference! May all the panels finish on time and the coffee never run out. 😁

A view of the Winnipeg skyline downtown. The clouds in the sunset are pretty.

First day of @cacscec.bsky.social conference over, sitting by the bus stop to head on home. Do it all again tomorrow.

Not the @cacscec.bsky.social I wanted but very grateful to have the opportunity to present via Zoom and very happy with the questions and comments on my paper!

about to land in Winnipeg to attend my first meeting of the @cacscec.bsky.social at @uwinnipeg.bsky.social. i will be giving a keynote talk "Rehumanized: The Iliad on Violence, Lament, and Becoming Human".

the invitation was a great honor. my secret hope is that Canada will adopt me.
