UPenn professors have responded forcefully to the Trump administration's that colleges sign a "compact" in order to secure funding:

Members of the European Association of Archaeologists, past and present, please sign!

I've just resigned from the EAA. Sad to leave an organisation I have been part of for decades, but collaboration with genocide is unthinkable. #stopthegenocide #stopapartheid @archagainstaparth.bsky.social

Archaeologists Against Apartheid urgent call for action! We are not anonymous. We are members of both the EAA&global archaeological community and more committed than ever to holding our representative organisations to account and anti-democratic influences.

Archaeology defined as a hauntology of remains. A theoretical statement grounded on my work on ruins as well as my recent work on the remnants of contemporary migration. Part of a great volume! Grateful to the editors and to many colleagues who helped out!

I chatted with the good colleagues of the @peoplingthepast.bsky.social on decoloniality, the politics of archaeology in the current moment, Palestine of course, and even our fieldwork efforts at Koutroulou Magoula!

Going to #wac10? You'll be sharing the space with a war criminal. Demand the @worldarch.bsky.social exclude archaeologists who knowingly engage in war crimes!

A victory! WAC has just announced that it decided to exclude from its congress the participant from an institution based in an illegal settlement in the West Bank. Many thanks to the people who raised their voices...

Looking forward to going back to the Getty Research Institute in September...

It's hard to believe it, especially in the present climate... I am certain that there are many other worthy colleagues who deserve this (perhaps more than I), but I was notified today that I received a Guggenheim Fellowship...

I am grateful to the Foundation for the support.

#guggfellows2025

Congratulations to our 100th class of Guggenheim Fellows, and welcome to the Fellowship! A message from Edward Hirsch, President of the Guggenheim Foundation and 1985 Fellow. www.gf.org #guggfellows2025

Sign and share and share again. Deadline in 3 days! We don’t want anyone to miss the chance to sign the letter and take an important stand, with Palestinians and against apartheid and genocide. #Archaeology #🏺

EXTENDED DEADLINE: Join over 300 archaeologists & cultural heritage workers worldwide. Sign the open letter to WAC, urging them to pledge no ties with apartheid Israel or its complicit institutions. WAC respected the boycott of apartheid South Africa in 1986. Why not now?

I’d like to use my newfound infamy as a scientific opponent of the case for a “Proto-Indo-European Homeland” in the Caucasus to draw attention to an open letter by Prof. Rafi Greenberg, which concerns an impending conference on #archaeology in the Occupied West Bank.

Look: A Zionist archaeology conference that aims to normalize occupation archaeology
Amidst a genocide
Amidst a scholasticide
Amidst the obliteration of Gaza's heritage
Amidst the ruins of complicit academic fields and associations

Classicists think that the term Global Antiquity is a way of countering Eurocentrism…the temporality of progression and successive periodicization is the real issue though…

Hi all,
some of you may have not seen this short, open-access piece..I suspect that the phenomena I am recounting will intensify in the coming months and years. And yet, our students give us hope...
