This week we are finishing up exam boards and awards boards, checking marks, talking to our external examiners, and finalising results. More checking needed at faculty and university level before results go out in July. #LearningAndTeaching #AcademicYear #Examboards

A long thread about student union officers & reps. One sees this so rarely - and it needs saying. In actual fact, the thread describes many students from this current generation more generally - and explains a bit why they make us so proud and hopeful. #Students #StudentUnion

Let's just say that we are not unfamiliar with this phenomenon. We are proudly a place where talking about ancient Egypt (or any other part of the ancient world) is very much encouraged. ๐Ÿ˜ #Egyptology #AncientWorld #GeekAndProud #LoveYourSubject

For some reason, we fancied a post about ancient Athenian ostraka today. These are potsherds with politicians' names on them. Above: Pericles below: Themistocles, written by Athenians voting to throw them out of the city. (c) Mark Cartwright BY-NC-SA 4.0 #ostracism #elections

Here are some of the speakers of the panel organised by #KYKNOS, the Swansea Research Centre on ancient narrative. They were focusing on Water in #AncientNovels, but clearly didn't stick to water at the end of the day. #CCCCardiff24 Celtic Conference in Classics Dr Mai Musiรฉ (แˆ™แˆด)
