“To the extent that the court has put the brakes on the president’s assertions of executive power, it is arguably cleaning up its own mess,” our columnist Jamelle Bouie writes.

In just over 50 pages, @candidamoss.bsky.social challenges modern assumptions about who counted as a slave trader and demonstrates that the entire apparatus of Roman medicine, commerce, and education was complicit in the manufacture and sale of human beings.

The phrase “washes up” is perhaps not the best way to describe a newly found fragment of Homer on parchment 📜 . But I do love that it’s Book 12 and dated to the 4th century CE—in Coptic. www.dutchnews.nl/2026/09/scra...

Daniel S. Richter has a new book—which I am stoked about—looking at the Antebellum engagement with Aristotle by enslavers. We should all buy this book when it’s out in October (although $105 is high!), but here are some other thoughts too. global.oup.com/academic/pro...

Aristotle in the Antebellum South

Natural Slavery, Democracy, and the Ancients

Daniel S. Richter

Introduces the first account of how and why antebellum Southerners embraced Aristotle prior to the Civil War
Provides a new approach to the discipline of intellectual history that moves beyond the idea of "reception"
Describes how different political contexts and historical moments shape defenses of slavery

I'm quoted in this @bostonglobe.com piece on Alice Hoffman's new book, *Witches of Cambridge*--which had its seed in a paper for my "Theories and Methods in the Study of Religion" class @harvarddivinity.bsky.social
