A few months ago, I officially stepped down as coordinator of the Early Christian Studies Workshop. I had a great 3+ years working with and learning from @HardyNjhardy, @bradleyhansen93, and all of our guests and local presenters. Best of luck to Brad in the coming year!

Thread 🧵 updated with links to some Classics-specific resources about trans, non-binary and GNC people in antiquity and in ancient world studies. Standing against transphobia also means learning from & uplifting trans perspectives, and working to make higher ed. more inclusive.
