My colleagues @horusofnekhen.bsky.social, @tibg1312.bsky.social, and I wrote a state-of-the-field-type article about disability in antiquity that was recently published and is open access. This article just gives a brief history of the subfield, with a discussion of future directions.

Now out - open access - in Classical Review. Thanks, @thedancinggrad.bsky.social for taking this one on.
Latest review just dropped! I had the pleasure of reviewing the new English translation of the Valla commentary on Ovid's Metamorphoses, and I unsurprisingly found it the most definitive English-language commentary on the Metamorphoses out there. Check out the review here!

Decades of mechanistic talk about university degrees as if they were bundles of 'skills' and 'prep' are about to be proved completely wrong (obviously). Want to get a real boost? Do History or English.
