Hey of us! This week is Thanksgiving in america and I’ve opted to make the most of the break in educating to focus down on getting some chapter revisions carried out, so we’ll be again to hoplites subsequent week.
Within the meantime, in case you are in search of issues to learn or watch, I’ve a number of strategies.
First, as at all times, there’s a new Pasts Imperfect (with mummies!) which at all times options a fantastic classics roundup.
There’s additionally one other video with Roel Konijnendijk reviewing depictions of historical Greek warfare in fashionable tradition, on this case taking a crack at some scenes in AC: Odyssey. And I’m glad he’s doing that as a result of I assume it’s delaying the 57-post lengthy bluesky thread he’s inevitably going to write down about every thing I get improper about hoplites.
Lastly, if as a substitute you desire a little bit of inside larger schooling grumbling, I ran throughout this older Angela Collier video on adjuncts and the character of adjuncting which – whereas miserable – is correct and value watching. We must demand that our public larger schooling be higher than this: college students deserve academics who’ve the time and sources to correctly put together lessons and instructors deserve salaries they will stay on and at last the general public deserves actual scholar-researcher-teachers for his or her cash, not overworked, underpaid adjuncts (so the cash can go to upper-level directors or soccer coaches as a substitute).
In any case, I hope everybody who celebrates had a Completely happy Thanksgiving and we’ll be again subsequent week with extra hoplites!
