Exciting news on the academic publications front! Charlotte Spence’s and my Trivent edited volume,The Christian and the Supernatural in Late Antiquity, now has a finalized cover design!

Officially have a cover design finalized for the sea monsters book being published for Bloomsbury’s Ancient Environments series!
The lovely depiction is from a fourth-century mosaic from Roman Sicily.
They’ve also put it up on their website for pre-orders. 😊

Delighted to put our CFP for a summer conference on nature in hexaemeral literature out into the world.
It’s being run by us here in the Center for Byzantine Studies, but we’re broadening our horizons for this one to attract a wider scope of papers on the subject beyond the usual suspects alone.

Also put this out recently - the CFP for the fourth annual iteration of the ILO conferences that have been co-organized by myself and Ali Norton.
Very much looking forward to seeing what sort of abstracts this year’s theme drags in.

Bit late in jumping over here from the decaying rot of the old place, but still looking forward to new academic friends and promoting my works here.
The main one right now is my forthcoming book entitled A Zoobiography of the Ancient Sea Monster for Bloomsbury’s Ancient Environments series.
