I talk a fair bit about the expectation that archaeologists will work for free. Even when we do get paid for appearing at events the reality can be grim. In this thread, I'm going to outline financial issues at play in giving a public lecture using a real world example...

Three young women sitting on stools, giving a talk in the Enlightenment Gallery at the British Museum
There’s no ‘wrong’ way to become interested in museums, classical texts or art— even if it means encountering them through TikTok trends! It was fantastic to adapt our EAA paper into a 1hr talk at the British Museum last night, discussing topics ranging from Sutton Hoo to sensationalism #medievalsky

Does anyone fancy a bright and early 09:00 start on Tuesday 8th July? Come and join us for ‘Social Media, Public Humanities, and Pedagogy’! I will be talking about Old English and the wonderful world of short-form social media. #medievalsky #IMC2025
