Feeling beyond lucky to see mention of my 2021 SCS blog in Deborah Kamen’s new monograph on Greek slavery!!

Making my SCS return in 2025 and excited that Dan-el Padilla Peralta and I will be presenting our paper “Cruelty Against Property: The Rescript(s) on Enslaver Violence,” in Philly!! See y’all there!

🤓

I asked my daughter to throw away some trash and she said “I’m my own person.” 😂😂 she’s two by the way.

Currently sifting through some articles and listening to studio ghibli music..

Big congrats to a real one for this.

Sat on this news long enough. Proposal & full manuscript submitted in May passed peer review & the editorial board. Finally got the contract. I’ll publish my 1st book, “Julian Augustus: Platonism, Myth, & the Refounding of Rome,” in the Studies in Late Antiquity series of Oxford University Press.

Well that’s it. Besides finishing a paper, coursework is over.

When advertising that your university is accepting grad school applications put the stipend information on there lol. That should not be a mystery for the perspective grad student. And if there isn’t stipend money it should say so as well. This might seem nit picky but I find the occlusion of this..

Omg it’s a first view of my very first publication. Book review of Luciani’s Slaves of the People with Cambridge’s The Classical Review!! www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
