I am happy to announce that I have been hired to teach a course, entitled “Persia from Prehistory to the Sasanian Empire” at the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art this spring. (Actually, that’s the subtitle; the course is filling an ancient Near Eastern art slot.) Funnily enough, this is the first time I’ll actually be able to teach a course on my specific area of expertise! I’m really looking forward to it, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to keep one foot in academia for a little while longer. Of course, I’m very grateful that my wife has her job, because that’s the only way I can afford to take advantage of this opportunity.
