Books on a brown wooden table. Three black books lay down, flanked by a black book standing on the left and a beige book on the right. They are all titled 'Far Edges of the Known World'. Behind the books is a full book shelf and white walls.

Just received my author copies for the north american version of my book!

Pre-order here (release date 30th Sept): wwnorton.com/books/978132...

Now that we’ve signed on the dotted line I can tell you about this book that @isisnaucratis.bsky.social, Mathura Umachandran, Usama Ali Gad and I are working on…

‘Viva Palestina: Imagining Transhistorical Solidarity’, a corrective to history’s apathy, coming soon (iA) to a bookshelf near you! 🍉

I posted our whole synopsis over on Insta, but if I leave this here you’ll get the idea.

We are editing a book! ❤️🇵🇸✊

I was gifted the opportunity to spend a day with Patricia Hill Collins and other incredible wahine, Deborah-Adenike Shonibare, Eden Igwe, and Zahra Gueye.

We recorded an ad lib podcast discussing activism, connectivity, and our journeys as WoC navigating academia.

Q - How do I get myself onto relevant ancient history lists?

Inviting all the classicists, archaeologists and historians who care about Palestinian colleagues/students/heritage to donate a little something to @gmandreou.bsky.social's fundraiser for Gazan students in archaeology and history: everydayorientalism.wordpress.com/2025/05/19/h...

It is WILD that there’s now been a threat of withholding jobs made by a highly known and well regarded scholar on the List, based on support for *discussing* the use of cultural heritage as a marker of ethnic cleansing mentioned in a UN report.

A really interesting paper on Whitewashing the Samnite in #ResDiff6

I've been thinking about how to teach my students about historical bias in historical accounts and interpretations of them, and the concept of epistemicide with regard to conquered and colonized people. Sally's talk gave me some great ideas!

So glad!! It’s a difficult thing to unpick, but rewarding once we have the tools to do it! Thanks so much 🥰

Stepping this evening into @moudhy.bsky.social’s tender, moving & vivid history of ancient Mesopotamia—& how it still speaks to us.
As a lover of cuneiform & Gilgamesh obsessive, this is *so* my jam.
The book itself is also a spectacular object!
