Meet our committee member, postdoc Dr. Ellie Bennett. Ellie is part of the project 'Embodied Emotions: Ancient Mesopotamia and Today', exploring with assyriologists and neuroscientists how emotions were experienced in the body in Akkadian, English, and Finnish texts.
Chicago folks: please do join @SophusHelle and me for our discussion of his translation of the #Sumerian #poetry of Enheduana next Monday (April 25th) 6pm at the wonderful Seminary Co-op

🎉 new publication! In which myself, Lena Tambs and Krister Lindén ask whether a weighted version of the k-core measure can highlight an elite group in neo-Assyrian correspondence networks. #networks #Assyria #mesopotamia #historicalnetworks #History
