New replica of the lyre from the c6-7th #Taplow princely burial, by me, unveiled at @NT_SuttonHoo, Aug19. First repro ever to include the unique horn inlays and strap fittings.
Many thanks to @SueBrunningBM for her help investigating the original remains to inform this build.

Changing the name of the disciplinary body (ISAS) is only a start - we need to think about how we’re teaching and hold our syllabi to account. Are we upholding racist views through our teaching practice? I learnt so much at @margiehousley and @CCB_PhD’s sessions at IONA 1/2

We are absolutely IN LOVE with our *newest* Anglo-Saxon namestone from #LindisfarneDig

It is rare

It is beautiful

And now that it is clean... we can see that it is one of the most EXQUISITE examples of interlacing knotwork we’ve ever seen

While these are only two public engagements of a white scholar in dealing with the name of Anglo Saxonists, I am firm in my support of the need for a name change of the Society.

[Dr Tasha Gefreh @Tashapropictis]

Anglo Saxonists cannot continue, with all its racial baggage. In my experience going to the ISAS conference in Albuquerque, I had two encounters which highlighted the public assumption of the whiteness of the field.

Second, when I was back at my school, I told someone I went to ISAS. He asked what the acronym meant. I spelled it out and his first words were, ”Are you a white supremacist?”

Best Mike test ever: "When I say 8th, you say century."

More people need to make fun voices when quoting primary sources. That is all. #isas2019 @EduardoRamosii

New old things I've been photographing lately: copper alloy spiral headed, lozenge and ringed pins and a bonus conical bell from Culbin Sands, Moray, all broadly AD 800-1100

Listening to Bernard Meehan at #ISAS2019 discuss this detail. I also want to find one of Bartholomew. I guess I have to wait for the book.

Medievalists love Moby Dick. "It's an Isidore." Conference pub talks.

[Dr Tasha Gefreh @Tashapropictis]

Fascinating papers. I can't hear due to inconsistency or feedback.

[Dr. Housley @margiehousley]

Okay that was a lie

7. Microphones improve accessibility for folx who are not Deaf/HoH. I have excellent hearing, but I also have ADHD and it can create auditory processing difficulties. tbh if I can’t hear, I just unplug from the discussion entirely because it’s too frustrating

John Blair: Birsay. Pictish buildings often are thought to be weird and wonderful but here we can see how it exists in a context of pairs of round forms. #ISAS2019 #Pictish

[Dr Tasha Gefreh @Tashapropictis]

#ISAS2019 has begun with a paper by Leslie Webster read by Carol Neumann de Vegvar. I was looking forward to seeing Leslie again so wish her all the best. Also, I have questions about this dude! Dowlish Wake St Peter.

[Dr Tasha Gefreh @Tashapropictis]

No, they can’t take that away from me. Unaffiliated, independent researcher. https://t.co/RKtu6luB5i

[Kirsty Sedgman @KirstySedgman]

Post-PhD I spent yrs unaffiliated & on shit pay, worrying I’d wasted my 20s studying while friends climbed career ladders. And the ONE thing I had to show for it - the one thing nobody could take away - was my title. So here’s to my fellow #ImmodestWomen: Drs & Profs 4eva 💪💪💪

[Dr Tasha Gefreh @Tashapropictis]

Changing my title three years ago was a rite of passage.
I will always be Dr Gefreh, even if I do become Mrs something else. https://t.co/kuOWKx1Lgo
