Thanks to those who have weighed in. I make it a point not to debate on social media, since it rarely leads to productive discussions. As I learned from in the Justinianic Plague debates, it's more productive to have a coffee/beer in person and have an open ended conversation. Always happy to do so.

I didn’t realize I had so many cool folks and projects following me. Apologies for that, I don’t get on this platform very often and I tend to miss notifications, I’m now playing catchup.

Also, hi.

Today’s Metal & Premodernity class discussed the founding of Rome & the Punic Wars through the lens of the bands Ex Deo & Ade, as well as a couple bands from Tunisia & Lebanon that flip the script from the Carthaginian perspective, defiantly appropriating even the enemy’s own language!

Academia and particularly the humanities is facing a global crisis. We need to be supporting each other. What we do not need to be doing is tarring kind, brilliant people with political views and personality traits they don’t have just because you disagree with the results of their research.

Apropos nothing in particular, one can disagree with a good junior scholar's arguments about a set of events in the past without maligning them as advancing a harmful political agenda whose emergence post-dates work they did on those events and with which that scholar is openly, clearly, not aligned
