Hello! I’m giving a paper tomorrow at 4:30pm @archanchistleic.bsky.social titled ‘Remembering and Forgetting on the Athenian Akropolis’ about collective trauma, memorialisation, and strategic forgetting (and some brain stuff, but not too much!).

DM me details or the online link!

This is horrible to read. Unacceptable and exhausting. Solidarity with Zena, thank you for speaking up

Following yesterday's EAA Special Meeting, I have submitted a complaint to the EAA Appeal and Anti-Harassment Committee. I post it here, with names redacted, for any members who were not present. Thank you so much to everyone who has reached out with messages of solidarity and support 🙏💓🙏
In spite of the Safe Space Policy being clearly stated at the beginning of the meeting, Prof. XXXXX targeted me by name, calling for my resignation from my position as Editor of the society's journal. Furthermore, his misuse of my title, referring to me as "Miss Kamash", felt deliberately demeaning. This intimidating behaviour explicitly contravenes the EAA Safe Space Policy. Although he was muted, for which I was grateful, I experienced a panic attack following his comments and did not feel safe to speak for the remainder of the meeting. This was further compounded by not only Prof. XXXXX being allowed to remain in the online meeting, but also being invited to take the floor again after the break. This gives me strong concerns about the effectiveness of the Safe Space Policy. On a broader point about the effectiveness of the Safe Space Policy, I also note that members whose position aligned with that of Concerned EAA were repeatedly and persistently accused of anti-Semitism throughout the meeting. This is a serious accusation that should not be levelled without due care and evidentiary support. Its use as a blanket accusation seems to have been designed with the explicit aim of silencing and intimidating members aligned with Concerned EAA, which again contravenes the Safe Space Policy and should have been dealt with more robustly during the meeting.

One of the perks of living in Athens is making spontaneous trips to beautiful little sites. Today we went on a gorgeous drive and hike to see the remains of two temples on the southeast slope of Mt Hymettus in Attica #archaeology #explore #greece 🏺🏛️⛰️
Remains of the first temple. Large blocks with the hills behind Remains of another temple. Large blocks forming a wall with a church built on top. View of the plain, mountains and sea in the distance Two friends walking along the mountain path with view of the mountains and sea in the distance

What you may NOT know about this labour is that the Hydra had a crustacean sidekick 🦀 Karkinos was the name of the giant crab that nibbled the ankles of Herakles as he fought the multi-headed monster.

Join us at the inaugural Athens Archaeology Festival in October to learn more about Herakles 🦁
