Very glad to see this volume, which I had the honour and the pleasure of co-editing with Julia Doroszewska, the prime mover of the project, from the Faculty of History of the University of Warsaw, being released today by @brepols.bsky.social

Great opportunity to learn Classical Armenian, which is a super fun language!

(1/11) URGENT: York University @YorkUniversity has suspended admissions to Religious Studies. This is a backdoor tactic to shut down the program without due process. This will ultimately be bad for York and everyone. #YUGOOD --we aren't.

From Religious Studies at York Twitter account: The administration at York University has suspended admissions to the Religious Studies program . . . The faculty have written this statement. We ask you to will distribute it widely and write to York's administration to protest this decision.

A piece of exciting news: @christycobb.bsky.social and I's "The Rhetoric and Ethic of Translating and Representing Enslaved Persons in New Testament and Early Christian Studies" was accepted for JSNT! We're hoping it'll benefit the field as we continue to acknowledge legacies of slavery.

York University has announced the temporary suspension of admission in 20 programs, including Religious Studies (in which I teach). The administration cannot shut down programs directly but they can starve them, which is clearly the intention. (1/5)

This is happening next week! There is still time to register with @andyhilkens.bsky.social

There are couple of layers in here, including a digital one on top. Is that a bird in the middle, of the lower script? Or more like a crown?

Very modest starter pack for accounts that post mainly about medieval manuscripts and libraries - let me know how many I missed and I'll be happy to add you / your suggestions #MedievalMSS go.bsky.app/7EkwHVJ
