Down and Dirty with Naomi
Down and Dirty with Naomi seeks to photograph and document museums and cultural heritage sites around the world in an effort to make the arts and culture accessible to all. With the goal to bring inclusion to those who cannot afford the cost of such trips, entrance fees or other travel costs, or to those who would not be able to physically experience the location. Naomi seeks to record these locations to provide a guideline for the accessibility, to enlightening those who would visit, while also creating open-source 3D renderings of art and artifacts to be made more widely accessible.
Naomi is a Digital Heritage Specialist and a TV/Film Expert with the agency Past Preservers. She is a staunch advocate for intersectional studies and the techniques used to digitize and document the ancient past into a more accessible world. Her main area of interest is the Late Antiquities period of the Mediterranean, with a focus on temples, religious worship, and archaeoastronomy. Naomi’s ultimate goal is to film and document the ancient past, providing tours with accessibility features, as well as create open-sourced 3D renderings and models of artifacts for future researchers. Naomi is a multi-racial woman with hearing aids, fluent in English, American Sign Language, and British Sign Language, and she is dedicated to making the arts and culture accessible to all.

Following Hadrian
A native of France based in Germany (Frankfurt am Main) and employed in the UK music industry, Carole Raddato is a self-trained photographer and ancient history enthusiast. She started her popular blog, Following Hadrian, in 2012 to illustrate the journeys made by the restless Roman emperor Hadrian, an accomplished and enthusiastic traveller who visited almost every province in the Empire during his reign. Years of following in Hadrian’s footsteps have led her to photograph well over 1000 sites and museums focusing on the classical past. Her images, archived at the American Academy in Rome, have found their way into hundreds of academic books. Raddato has also published a steady stream of illustrated essays for Ancient History Magazine and articles for the online Ancient History Encyclopedia, as well as Antigone Journal and University of California Press.

Isegoria Publishing
Classicists and Publishers Stefanos Apostolou and Manolis Pagkalos met during their undergraduate years at the University of Athens, where they studied History and Archaeology (and frequented other, more popular and nocturnal venues). They lived parallel lives and crossed paths again in East Midlands, UK, where they studied for their PhDs (Classics for Stefanos, Archaeology and Ancient History for Manolis), and often quarrelled over which is the best place to live in the area, Nottingham or Leicester. The foundation of Isegoria Publishing in Nottingham is definitely a win for Stefanos and the city of Robin Hood. Divided by geography but united in values, Manos and Stefanos’ publishing house and education hub supports authors to write their best work and delivers seminars to disseminate specialised knowledge across the world.
Stefanos Apostolou and Manolis Pagkalos

Mesoamerican Studies Online

On the podcast we also interview scholars about their recent projects and we offer free and paid courses for those who wish to learn more. We also believe that it is important to prioritize giving a voice to frequently underrepresented and/or marginalized communities in academia; people of color, women, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and graduate/undergraduate students.

Arion: A Journal of Humanities and the Classics
Arion is a classical journal that prides itself in its accessibility to non-specialist readers interested in the core values of the humanities. Elaine Fantham, announcing Arion as the winner of the inaugural APA Outreach Award, captured what’s so special about it: “Arion is the one journal I would most want to show friends outside the Classics to demonstrate our exuberant variety of form and content, and its continued vitality.” At the same time, Arion is available in most of the world’s best libraries because it demands the highest standards of scholarship from its contributors, whether prominent or promising scholars.

Harappa.com: The Ancient Indus Valley Civilization
Harappa.com has been the major website on the ancient Indus or Harappan Civilization (3500-1700 BCE) since 1995. Leading scholars from India, Pakistan, the US, UK, and Europe have published their work in slideshows, essays and articles that cover the basic facts and the latest research.
Too little is understood about the ancient Indus civilization in India and Pakistan. Its unread script makes it hard to be sure about so many things - not the name of a single ruler, place, or even word is known.
In a vacuum, fictions flourish. Yet the pace of discoveries has never been quicker, the number of investigators never larger. We are here to tell you what is really going on.
Omar Khan, Nadine Zubair, Ilona Aronovsky, Jeff Turner, with major contributions by Dr. Jonathan Mark Kenoyer, RIchard H. Meadow and other leading Indus archaeologists and the Harappa Archaeological Research Project.

The Philagora Review
This is one of the leading teenage journals of the Classics, a forum for young scholars to discuss, analyze, and learn. In light of the versatility of our digital platform, we strive to publish various non-textual media offerings alongside traditional written publications. Publishing a quarterly journal for scholars interested in longer articles, we utilize both external submissions as well as internal contributions.
Beyond the simple translations in the classroom, Philagora holds a larger mission for the Classics Community: Revitalize the Classics. We plan on achieving this goal through a equitable, scholarly environment for all students. Our main outputs include articles posted on our website, zoom Q&A's, and a written journals.

Três egiptólogues entram num bar (Three Egyptologists Walk Into a Bar)
Três egiptólogues entram num bar is a podcast about ancient Egypt and Egyptology in Portuguese. Our goal is to make ancient Egypt better known, as well as more accessible, to Portuguese-speaking audiences, since not much about ancient Egypt is published in Portuguese. The podcast features different types of episodes: thematic one-offs that cover a wide array of topics including Egyptian art and Egyptian religion; a historical series, offering an overview of all periods of Egyptian history; episodes about what it means to be an academic Egyptologist; conversations with other Portuguese-speaking scholars of ancient Egypt; and a book club.
Inês Torres, Postdoctoral Fellow and Researcher at Nova University Lisbon’s Centre for the Humanities (CHAM). Her main research interests focus on the role of the ancient Egyptian tomb as a social space, where memories about the deceased were shaped by the space and decoration.
Luiza Osorio G. Silva, Assistant Professor of Art History, Archaeology, and Visual Studies at the University of California, Irvine. Her main research interests focus on ancient Egyptian kingship, particularly how it would have been experienced by non-royal people in the Middle Kingdom.
Guilherme Borges Pires, PhD Candidate at Nova University Lisbon and a Researcher at the Centre for the Humanities (CHAM). His main research interests focus on the conceptions of the creator god and creation in New Kingdom religious hymns.
All three of us work on the podcast together. The podcast is part of our wider project, which we work on with other colleagues, to increase the dissemination of Egyptological scholarship (and knowledge about the ancient world more broadly) to Portuguese speakers.
