I am halfway through making the PowerPoint presentations for the lectures I am giving in the research module MGUSA401! Although the versions of the course I am delivering in Sogndal and Stord differ, I am quite excited about both.

I really enjoyed the training seminar on "Cultural heritage and digital citizenship education," which Europeana and the ENA Education Community Steering Group organised this morning as part of All Digital Weeks!

Happy to say that in April, I am organising a #workshop focused on #religious and #culturalheritage in #Wales alongside @cardiffuniversity.bsky.social and Llafur - the event is now live on the #NorwegianChurchArtsCentre's website 🙂

I found out today that @bloomsburyacad.bsky.social has quoted my #review of "#Heracles and #Athenian #Propoganda" by Sofia Frade on their website :)

I am currently preparing for what looks like one of the busiest weeks of the semester, but I get to teach several classes on fascinating themes. Lectures and activities over the coming week are:

This morning, I received the proofs for an article based on my doctoral thesis! More is hopefully coming - both in terms of articles (both dealing with federalism and identity) and, hopefully eventually, a monograph :)

This week, I taught a class on the industrial revolutions, focusing on the political, social, and cultural roots of the #FirstIndustrialRevolution in the #UnitedKingdom, the #SecondIndustrialRevolution in #Germany, and the industrialisation of #Norway.

My next #ancienthistory talk will likely take place in #Bergen at an invited seminar titled "Gods and Legends: #Festivals, #Myths, and #Religion as Methods of Forging Identity in Ancient #Arcadia and #Aetolia" for their research group in the Ancient World 🙂

I am sharing on behalf of @vulpicula.bsky.social the call for papers for the next Society for Late Antiquity panel she is organizing at next year’s AIA-SCS in San Francisco. Please help us spread the word widely!

George Allen and I are organising a panel for the Celtic Conference in Classics in Cardiff next summer (July 9-12th) called "Regions and Levels of Identity in the Ancient World". We have some exciting speakers confirmed for it, and we are looking to expand or panel with more.
