Ancient Societies Workshop
As the study of history has developed in the modern era, historians have increasingly come to recognize the value of interdisciplinary inquiry, bringing methodologies from fields as diverse as sociology, gender studies, and economics to bear on the study of ancient societies. The Ancient Societies Workshop provides a forum for historians from a range of disciplines to discuss topics of common interest. The focus in 2007-08 will be on urbanism in antiquity and the host of related issues that subject entails, including the origins and forms of ancient urbanism, the evolution of urban landscapes over time, and the social, political, economic, and demographic relationships between urban and rural spaces and places.
Unless otherwise noted in the schedule, workshops take place on alternate Tuesdays at 3:30pm in Classics 26.
