Anybody know anyone who controls an endowed guest professorship or annual lecture (series)? One that could be manned with a fun and lively Swedish archaeologist? Please put my name forward! I know French and German.
Very happy to announce that my employers, the Austrian Academy of Sciences' Institute for Iranian Studies, are finally off X and onto a range of other platforms including the Fediverse.
If you have any interest in (or want to find out a bit more about) the cultures and languages of the Caucasus, Iran, and central Asia, then please do go and follow them @IranianStudies :)
Boosts appreciated!
The UCL Faculty of Laws / Bentham House will be holding a conference 23-24 July in London to celebrate the publication of a substantial Bentham manuscript, A Picture of the Treasury, in which he begins to theorize the "sinister interest" that controls and limits government expenditure.
I'm honored to be one of the featured speakers at the conference, and I'm already eagerly looking forward to our conversation! CFP now available here: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/laws/events/2025/jul/person-jeremy-bentham-panopticon-penitentiary-scheme-and-picture-treasury

I've worked out Mastodon a bit better & moved over to @mastodonbooks.net so new #introduction is in order.
I am a #queer #anarchist & a euroamerican living & writing on stolen land. My field is #science and #medical #freelancing & I am a #Humanities exile.
Why am I here? I want to promote my collective, Grinning Kitten Press; find readers; get book recs; & talk politics, organizing, & nonsense with other random weirdos 🏴
I'm a 1st year PGR looking for connections in arts/humanities. Interests are in mobilities, counterculture, hyperstition, practice research. Where should I been looking on Mastodon? #academia #humanities #phd
