Project I’m working on: I’ve got two. One is what a few early Umayyad frescoes tell us about South Arabian/Abyssinian identities in the early Islamic period. The other is blackface in precolonial MENA arts/lits.
Theory I’m noodling: there’s more early Swahili attested in Abbasid lit than we think

Bluesky academics, let's get to know each other! Quote this & tell me: 1) a project you are working on & 2) an odd idea/theory you aren't working on but keep thinking about.

Seeing all the starter packs popping up inspired me to try to start one for Roman history. It was useful (for me) to be a little more rigorous in trying to find more of us on here, and I hope it might be helpful for others also. And, of course, very happy to add to it!
