Thank you! Shame you have to miss it. If you're curious about my work, I can provide an example that is available online. This is a lecture I gave to coincide with my display at the Ashmolean Museum back in 2023:

If you or someone you know is based in South Yorkshire and passionate about the ancient world, disability history and heritage, I encourage you to come along!

Here is the link for the Hapy Society's website with information on the event: hapysociety.org/04-attitudes...

Next Saturday 11th October, I'll be travelling up to Barnsley to deliver a lecture for the wonderful Hapy Egyptology Society. This lecture will be an overview to my work on disability in Ancient Egypt, focusing primarily on what we can tell about the ancient Egyptian's attitudes towards disability.

Looking forward to it, Rupert!

Excuse me while I blow my own 🎺. On Thursday morning, I'm discussing "What next for collections management?" with Aruna Bhuageerutty, @davidgelsthorpe.bsky.social & @horusofnekhen.bsky.social on for the annual Collections Trust conference #MuseumDocumentation collectionstrust.org.uk/events/confe...

If you're reading this and also teach and convene courses or study days - either in person or online - and you are interested in including discussions of ancient health and disability in your offering, do get in touch!

Had the absolute pleasure today of going to New York University's London Campus to deliver two guest lectures to Dr. Alexandra Lee's students on Medicine, Health and Disability in Ancient Egypt.

I've been fortunate enough to come back and lecture for multiple years now. Always a pleasure. :)
