Great to be included in this issue with a book review for @leireolabarria.bsky.social's "Making Memories in Ancient Egypt", which explores what Egyptology and the field of memory studies have to offer each other.

EES Members can read the review in the magazine or online. Link in the post below!

If you're an editor in need of a reviewer for a work of ancient Egyptian/Mediterranean history or archaeology, or disability history and literature more broadly, do get in touch! 3/3

It's a stellar short summary of what memory studies and Egyptian archaeology have to offer each other, and has left me with a lot to think about in terms of my own work. Many thanks to the editor Charlotte Jordan for inviting me to review. 2/3

…and that’s problematic as a discourse because it negates any theory of change. If you can’t articulate that things are getting worse, you can’t strategize about how to make them better.

There are now 450 entries in GAERHF. So I made a video of scrolling through the "List" view. And paused to click on a few along the way. That was a bit random. This all neither here nor there yet. Much work to do! I had to compress it a bit to get under 100 mb. #GlobalAntiquity #GlobalDH gaerhf.org
