New interview about my book "The White Pedestal: How White Nationalists Use Ancient Greece and Rome to Justify Hate" from @theozymandiasp1.bsky.social
And @craignewmark.bsky.social I don't have a son but I ordered your book! There have been times I need to know how to talk to myself!
Sign a petition to tell publishers to stop blocking @archive.org from preserving content. They say they're worried abt AI training, maybe it's a real problem, but it's 2026, there has to be a solution thats better than lumping this important preservationist project into the same category as scrapers
My Vassar colleague!
One thing I say in "The White Pedestal" is that these comparisons from the left aren't the sick burns we think they are: narratives of decline, wherever they come from, nourish fascism because the more people that believe it, the more people are willing to put their hope in authoritarians.
This short thread articulates well some of what I tried to think through in "The White Pedestal," both as a Classical scholar and as a white man in America.
Thank you for this thread abt The White Pedestal & reflections on the UK context. @denisemccoskey.bsky.social and @drhelenroche.bsky.social have edited a volume with a more global focus: www.bloomsbury.com/uk/abusing-antiquity-9781350563728/. But most countries could use a book-length treatment!
I'm offering a 3-session online course for @92ndstreety.bsky.social in June on white nationalism and GrecoRoman antiquity. The far right knows more about ancient history than you expect, but there are traditions of classicism that challenge their narratives. Join me! roundtable.org/live-courses...
Not to mention the Coors Foundation's support for the Heritage Foundation going back to 1972! www.desmog.com/2024/08/14/p...

Five years ago, we set out to make a series of open-access editions of Latin texts written by women. Today we published volume 5, a collection of letters written by fifteen women in ancient Rome, from Cornelia (120s BCE) to Gudeliva (530s CE).
