Colloquia in Ancient Studies
Colloquia in Ancient Studies
This bimonthly gathering seeks to provide a forum for faculty and students
(graduate and undergraduate) of
various aspects of antiquity to discuss areas of common interest, to learn
about interdisciplinary projects of IU faculty,
and to engage with scholars from outside I.U. whose work bridges multiple
fields. While this is primarily an "in-house"
series,
we seek to bring in one outside speaker each semester to broaden our
awareness of approaches to the ancient world.
