How Mary Klann Does History

Last year was the first academic year I only taught at one institution.

Parenting is a humbling reminder that knowledge does not just magically appear.

In a cruel twist of fate, my children suffer from having a historian for a mother.

I first learned I was pregnant immediately after passing my Ph.D. qualifying exams. A few weeks later I discovered I was carrying twins.

This probably wasn’t what the Sargonids expected.

I can tell that they find it both fascinating and frustrating to have a historian as a parent.
