Call for papers: Integration and identity in the Roman Republic

Manchester 1-3 juli 2010

Welcomes papers on any aspect of integration and the formation of identity in the Roman Republic. We would particularly like to invite archaeologists and linguists, since it is clear that integration and identity cannot be studied by ancient historians alone. Some suggested topics are:

  • Colonial landscapes
  • Legal barriers for integration
  • Ideas about integration among Romans and Italians
  • Different modes of integration for various social classes
  • Regional variations in the methods and results of integration

The deadline for abstracts is 1 March 2010.

Final call for articles New Voices

(from the editors)

We have had some requests for a later deadline for articles for  New Voices Issue 5 (Spring 2010) which we have agreed to and therefore have decided to send a general Final Call for articles.

If you are currently working on an article that is nearing completion and would like to submit for consideration by New Voices please note the Final Call deadline: Friday 8th January 2010.

New Voices in Classical Reception Studies is a refereed electronic journal. Most of the 'new voices' are early career researchers such as recent post-docs and advanced graduate students or people who have changed research direction and are starting to publish their work in areas relevant to classical reception.

Further information and details of how to submit are available on the New Voices website http://www2.open.ac.uk/newvoices and the editor, Lorna Hardwick () will be pleased to answer any queries.

TYTUS SUMMER RESIDENCY PROGRAM 

The University of Cincinnati Classics Department is pleased to announce the Margo Tytus Summer Residency Program.    Tytus Summer Residents, in the fields of philology, history and archaeology  will come to Cincinnati for a  minimum of one month and a maximum of three  during the summer.   Applicants must have the Ph.D. in hand at the time of application.   Apart from residence in Cincinnati during term, the only obligation of Tytus Summer Residents is to pursue their own research.     They will receive  free university housing.   They will also receive office space and enjoy the use of the University of Cincinnati and Hebrew Union College Libraries. 

The University of Cincinnati Burnam Classics Library (http://www.libraries.uc.edu/libraries/classics/) is one of the world's premier collections in the field of Classical Studies.  Comprising 240,000 volumes and other research materials, the library covers all aspects of the Classics: the languages and literatures, history, civilization, art, and archaeology.  Of special value for scholars is both the richness of the collection and its accessibility -- almost any avenue of research in the classics can be pursued deeply and broadly under a single roof.  The unusually comprehensive core collection, which is maintained by three professional classicist librarians, is augmented by several special collections such as 15,000 nineteenth century German Programmschriften, extensive holdings in Palaeography,   Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies.   At neighboring Hebrew Union College, the Klau  Library (http://library.cn.huc.edu/), with holdings  in excess of 450,000 volumes and other research materials, is rich in Judaica  and Near Eastern Studies.

 Application Deadline:  February 15.  

 A description of the Tytus Summer Residency Program and an application form is available online at  http://classics.uc.edu/index.php/tytus.   Questions can be directed to .
