Had a fantastic week in Auckland at #ASCS47 this year! I was privileged to present on the AWAWS sponsored panel ‘Home is Where the Hatred Is’ with Katherine Prouting and Meg Challis. Looking forward to the next one!
Fortunate to attend #ASCS47 at the last-minute in Auckland this week. A great chance to see old friends and meet new ones! Always wonderful to see the supportiveness of our community on full display.
If anyone wants to put together a panel on Roman Social History for ASCS in Feb 2027, let’s chat!
