Though I am not a member of FaceBook, I'd like to point out that some Canadian associations and committees dedicated to the promotion of Classics have their own FaceBook page. I personally know of two, the Graduate Student Caucus of the CAC and the Ontario Classical Association. The OCA can also be reached in 140 characters or less on Twitter and it has a new and improved website. As you probably already know, the CAC has its own FaceBook page, which is maintained by John Porter (U of Saskatchewan). There is a link to it in the header of every issue of your Bulletin.

If you know of any other such Canadian FaceBook pages or Twitter accounts, please let me know! Links to websites of related organizations are provided on the CAC website — follow this link.

Remember, too, that in order to present a paper at the next Annual Meeting in Winnipeg, you must be a member. Follow the link in the header of the Bulletin.

REMINDER: NEDA AND FRANZ LEIPEN FELLOWSHIP — CANADIAN INSTITUTE IN GREECE
RAPPEL: BOURSE NEDA ET FRANZ LEIPEN — L’INSTITUT CANADIEN EN GRÈCE

From/De: Sheila Campbell
(English follows)

L’Institut canadien en Grèce sollicite les candidatures pour la bourse d'études Neda et Franz Leipen à Athènes, Grèce du 1er septembre 2013 au 31 mai 2014.

Le candidat doit être citoyen canadien, ou immigrant reçu, doit poursuivre des études avancées ou post-doctorales et doit avoir besoin de séjourner en Grèce.

En plus de ses études, le boursier assistera le directeur adjoint de l'ICG dans le travail du bureau et de la bibliothèque (10 heures par semaine). On recommande donc une expérience antérieure en Grèce et au moins un peu de grec moderne.

Tout aspect des études helléniques, de l’antiquité jusqu’au âge moyen, et n’importe quelle discipline académique peut servir de point focal des recherches du boursier; cependant une préférence sera accordée au candidat qui travaille dans le domaine de la sculpture grecque de l’époque classique jusqu’à l’époque hellénistique. Dans toute publication éventuelle de ses recherches conduites sous les auspices de cette bourse, le boursier reconnaîtra l’assistance de l’Institut canadien en Grèce ainsi que celle de la Bourse d’études Neda et Franz Leipen.

Allocation de $8000 et logement à l'hôtellerie de l'ICG pendant le séjour.

Écrire avant le 1er Mars 2013, en incluant un curriculum vitae, une description du programme de recherche et trois lettres de recommandation à l'addresse ci-dessous.

LEIPEN FELLOWSHIP — CANADIAN INSTITUTE IN GREECE

The Canadian Institute in Greece invites applications for The Neda and Franz Leipen Fellowship to be held in Athens, Greece, from 1 September, 2013 to 31 May, 2014

The applicant must be a Canadian citizen or landed immigrant, pursuing graduate or post-doctoral studies, and have a clear need to work in Greece.

In addition to his or her studies, the Fellow will spend at least nine months resident in Athens and will provide ten hours of assistance weekly at the Canadian Institute in Greece in the office or library, as well as assisting at the public functions of CIG. The nature of this work is to be determined in consultation with the Director. Some previous experience in Greece and some knowledge of modern Greek is an asset, although not a requirement.

The Fellow’s research focus may be any aspect of Hellenic studies, from ancient to mediaeval, and in any academic discipline, but preference will be given to a candidate working in the field of Classical to Hellenistic Greek sculpture. In any subsequent publication of the research work done  under the auspices of this fellowship, the recipient will acknowledge both the Canadian Institute in Greece and The Neda and Franz Leipen Fellowship.

The Fellow will receive a stipend of $8,000 and free accommodations in the CIG hostel for the period of the fellowship.

Applications should be postmarked before March 1, 2013, and should include a curriculum vitae, a description of the planned program of research, and three letters of reference. These should be sent to:
