some products of a practical session in the MakerSpace @SASNews last week with my @kingsclassics Hittite language 1 students, who made great progress with their scribal training and copied out sentences from the annals of Muršili for each other to read!

ordered a spare copy of van den Hout’s Elements of Hittite ready to teach Hittite language @kingsclassics for the first time this year… CUP seem to think I should be doing Linear B instead?

What an amazing day! Thanks to @krshields1 for concocting the workshop and to @instclasstudies for supporting it. It was refreshing to meet like-minded colleagues to discuss strategies to promote the teaching of languages such as Middle Egyptian at UK HE institutions

Ahir va morir J. D. Hawkins, un gegant dels estudis anatòlics. Editor del corpus d'insripcions lúviques jeroglífiques, un monument impressionant des del punt de vista epigràfic, lingüístic, històric i arqueològic. És una grandíssima pèrdua per als nostres estudis.

Thanks to all those who held the line during the strikes & the MAB. It’s our collective action and determination that allowed us to solve our local dispute for fair pay, equality, and a voice at work! #ucuRISING

Had a punt down the river Cam, rode the ferris wheel, visited Eagle pub famously linked to Watson & Crick's discovery of DNA
And discussed how @Wikipedia and universities, both inside & outside the curriculum, are a match made in heaven
