Damn. So sorry to hear this. Syriaca was a lifesaver on my last book.

Damn, you got a lot of author copies!

I like that manuscripts preserve the quirks of writing by actual people—mistakes, accidents, changed minds. There’s a real
empathy that comes with looking at a manuscript.

The decline of democracy comes at the hands of unregulated big tech. Vance’s bewildering accusations against the EU and Ukraine aim at dismantling the regulatory institutions that keep tech companies in check.

Good question. We haven’t discussed the timing of accepting proposals at this point. Sofia is the lead on this, so I don’t want to speak for her, but I would imagine we will have responses out by late May—mid June by the latest.

We are open to stretching the boundaries. We had discussed the rise of Islam as a kind of end point, but we purposefully left out such defining language. We’re definitely open to Christian-Muslim and/or Jewish-Muslim interactions!

Sofia has confirmed there is no website, unfortunately. But if you have more questions feel free to reach out!

I think we would be VERY interested in Zoroastrian perspectives! Most of us organisers work on Christianity, but our main interest for this workshop is in how dominant groups “other” minority groups. That said, we’re also interested in how minority groups respond to such treatment.
