Notes from the Apotheke

A Twitter about being BIPOC in Classics. Serving hot takes since 2020.

Thrilled to announce: an article by wonderful @aimee_hinds and I is out! We examine Black representations of Greco-Roman goddesses in film/on television, exploring the conditions which allowed audiences to react neutrally/favorably toward such castings.

Come one, come all, come living, come dead to the @uvmvermont production of Aristophanes' "Frogs", directed by Jeannette Chien (@entropyre) with an original score by various members of the classics department (including yours truly), this weekend only! #ClassicsTwitter

Archaeology equipment can be expensive that often burdens students more than we expect. Help students and colleagues to work in a safe environment with adequate equipment.

Give if you can, request if you need help.

[Dr. Debby Sneed @debscavator]

The hidden curriculum is real, & many students don't know when or how to ask for letters of recommendation. If you want to be inclusive, help demystify the process. Consider sending your mentees resources like this blog on asking for LoRs by @ApothekeBlog https://t.co/zCXlPbRnp3

I’ve been struggling a bit to find motivation these past few weeks but I finally did it. I wrote a new thing. Stay tuned ✨

[Black Trowel Collective @BlackTrowel]

We LOVED seeing you all at #saa2022chicago!

We also got a fairly unprecedented amount of applications as a result--DOUBLE the amount we currently have to distribute.

A little help meeting this demand would be appreciated.

“Diversifying” graduate student cohorts without recruiting, retaining, and promoting faculty of color who work on relevant topics who can teach and advise incoming students is unethical.

*Important thread about the future direction of Sportula Europe; please share this widely in your networks*
We are looking to expand our committee, with a view to handing over the reins to a new group of marginalised students and ECRs in ancient world studies later this year 1/6
