Our Roundtable is happening today! Come and say hi!

CripA wishes you a restful and Happy Holidays! 🎄☃️ We are excited to announce that we will be hosting a roundtable at the AIA/SCS conference this January! "Archaeology and the Disabled in the 21st Century" will be held January 9 from 1:00-2:00 in the Grand Ballroom. Hope to see you there!

Included is a state-of-the-field piece about disability in antiquity (open access), which I co-wrote with @horusofnekhen.bsky.social and @tibg1312.bsky.social. See where we're at with this subfield!

Banning laptops from your classes is an accessibility issue and *forces* students with accommodations to out themselves to their peers.

If you do this, you are not an advocate for disability rights.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Today on the blog, Rachel Philbrick and Zachary Quint of the SCS Data Committee share some of the results of the Census, focusing on a few salient questions and linking to further data.

Today I published a new section of my website with resources for those who wish to learn, study, and/or teach ancient languages using braille. It rests on work we did over the past year to expand screen reader access to these languages through the LibLouis library. Check it out and share around!

Starting next Thursday at 5:30pm BST (9:30am PST), the Badè Museum will kick off it's new Lecture Series. Co-sponsored by the Archaeological Research Facility @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social, the Series will explore Disability in the Ancient Middle East and Mediterranean. (1/4)

It has been a big month for CripAntiquity!

Early in the month, three of our board members hosted a panel at the CA conference (pictured below), and just this last weekend we had our first ever annual conference, which was a great success! (1/2)

July is Disability Pride Month, and we are so proud of our members around the world! We are now one step closer to reaching our goal of providing grants/scholarships for our members for conferences and fieldwork: you can now donate to us! paypal.com/donate/?host...
