3 years ago I shared my story from ‘refugee to PhD’. Let’s stop dehumanising #refugees and celebrate the contributions they can make to a healthy and diverse society. People don’t flee their homes because they want to. #WorldRefugeeDay #WithRefugees vimeo.com/519089224

Annual picnic of the department of History, Heritage and Classics. The academic year is slowly coming to an end. #summer #picnic #SwanseaHHC Swansea History @SUC

Thanks, Hilary! They are indeed awesome!

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

Required reading for all of us in the business of studying the ancient world.

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. 😍 #Egyptology #AncientWorld #GeekAndProud #LoveYourSubject

Amazing to see the lid back on the coffin base for the first time in over 25 years. Almost time to return to The Egypt Centre, Museum // Y Ganolfan Eifftaidd. Thank you to everyone from Cardiff Conservation who have worked on it over that time.

Nike, the ancient Greek goddess of Victory. She's here to congratulate all our final-year students who received their results today. So many excellent degrees! It took a lot of work and dedication to get here. Well done, everybody. 🎓🏆📜 (c) British Museum CC BY-NC-SA 4.0

Celtic conference in Classics at Cardiff #CCCCardiff24 - Swansea alumni Thomas Husøy Dr. Thomas Alexander Husøy-Ciaccia and George Allen opening the #Regionalism panel. Our own Alec Dawson and Maria Pretzler Maria Pretzler will also be speaking. #RegionalIdentities #AncientHistory

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 Musié (ሙሴ)
