Curiously, I just taught about the ʿAbbāsid Caliph al-Muʿtaṣim's recruitment of Türks for his private guard yesterday. This should be a great talk at ISAW if you're in the NYC area on November 11th...

Call for Papers for GSANES 8 (NYC, March 26-7, 2026):

Come present your work at ISAW this upcoming spring semester, the topic being ‘As Below, So Above: Mapping Social Experience and the World Beyond'.

Submissions are due December 15.
GSANES 8 CALL FOR PAPERS The Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University, in cooperation with Brown University, Harvard University, and Yale University, and with the added support of the Skirball Department of Hebrew and Judaic Studies and the Center for Ancient Studies at New York University, is pleased to announce the eighth annual Graduate Symposium in Ancient Near Eastern Studies (GSANES). This symposium brings together graduate students of the ancient world to foster intellectual exchange and build lasting scholarly connections across institutions and disciplines. Presentations are shared in a collegial setting and receive constructive feedback from peers, attendees, and established scholars in attendance. The event will take place on March 26-27, 2026 at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World (ISAW NYU), 15 East 84th St (New York City, USA). We welcome submissions from graduate students in both the coursework and dissertation phase. This is an in-person event, meaning that we are not accepting virtual presentations. Registration is free for all presenters and attendees, with funding for one night available to accepted speakers. We warmly encourage colleagues and faculty from nearby institutions to attend. Registration to come. The theme of this year is ‘As Below, So Above: Mapping Social Experience and the World Beyond’. Inspired by the inversion of the well-known maxim “As Above, So Below” and Nelson Goodman’s Ways of Worldmaking (1978), this year’s theme examines the interplay between human society and the divine, emphasizing the role of human agents in mapping their lived social experience onto the divine cosmos, and their expression of the divine within their worlds. We invite papers that explore relationships between social structures and cosmic order, and bring new perspectives on divine-human relations, cosmologies, and social institutions. Submissions may come from an array of academic disciplines that engage with the cultural and intellectual history of the ancient world, such as ancient Near Eastern studies, archaeology, architecture and art history, Assyriology, biblical studies, digital humanities, Egyptology, Hittitology, Jewish studies, Levantine studies, philology, and religious studies. Topics may include and are not limited to ritual and religious practice, cosmology and cosmography, political ideology and kingship, mythology, iconography and iconology, law, language, symbols and semiotics, architecture and sacred space or landscape, social structure and hierarchy. In keeping with ISAW’s vision, the conference encourages papers that adopt interdisciplinary approaches to texts, material culture, and archaeology. Presentations should be 20 minutes, with 10 minutes for questions and discussion following. PowerPoints or handouts are encouraged to accompany your presentation. To apply, please submit an abstract of no more than 300 words through this Google form. The deadline for submissions is December 15th 2025. Please feel encouraged to reach out to Samantha Rainford (samantha.rainford@nyu.edu) or Stefano Aprà (sa8624@nyu.edu) with any questions.

Sometimes I’m like “why do I keep journals when I travel that’s so time consuming and indulgent” but thanks for being so thorough, Pas Amanda. I hope the Polish couple is still together and happy, I hope the girls from Philly don’t care about baseball
Journal from 3/18/17 - Yesterday was a dayof car stops I drove east from the hotel to the glacier lagoon. First Istopped at another glacier the hotel clerk had recommended. I was glad to go there because there were no other tourists there-just one guy, Craig, who was running a drone. I watched the footage and talked with him for a bit. The drone footage was incredible. Next Iwent to the big glacier lagoon. When I got there, a bus had unloaded, so I sat in the cafe and waited for it to clear out abit. It was beautiful, though. Imet a Polish couple who asked me to record them swing dancing.+ was adorable. Then Iwent to the diamond beach, where i met 2 girls from Phillie. We took each others pictures, then parted ways. A few minutes later Isaw a big, Slanted iceberg. They were walking by, so I stopped Them. I said "This is a ready dumb, weird request, but I want to pose on the iceberg like it's a piano, canyou take my picture?" They laughed and did. I tried climbing up but kept slipping. Finally I went around the back

As soon as I rose of my baptism, Isaw the heavens tear open and the divine spirit of HIM descending upon me. As the crowd around me was being purified through the sacrament of HIS cum baptism, I too was cleansed. HIS voice boomed, proclaiming, 'You are My cherished SON; in you, I am well pleased.
