UWO Classics Graduate Conference 2016
Voyages and Journeys in Antiquity
Department of Classics, University of Western Ontario
March 18-19, 2016

From Michelle Sugar

The communities of the ancient Mediterranean may seem, in comparison with our modern, globalized society, somewhat less reliant on the close cultural and economic ties that we take for granted. Yet, from Homer to Virgil, from Herodotus to Julius Caesar, from the Greek colonization of Southern Italy to the campaigns of Alexander, we are constantly reminded of the vital interchange of ideas and materials that took place between ancient cultures. This conference aims to explore the role of travel in creating and maintaining these connections, whether in the spheres of archaeology, economics, philosophy or literature.

We invite submissions for papers related to the theme of travel in the ancient world. Relevant issues for discussion may include (but are certainly not limited to):

• Geography and space in ancient literature
• Travel in Greek and Roman military narratives
• Nomadism in ancient literature and historiography
• Representations of the oikoumene
• Maritime trade in the Mediterranean
• The role of maps in ancient travel
• Pilgrimage (e.g. in the Hellenistic period, in the Roman empire, etc.)
• Journeys to the underworld (katabases)
• Nostoi in epic, Athenian drama, the ancient novel, etc.
• Metempsychosis and eschatological narratives
• Xenia and diplomatic embassies

This conference is directed towards graduate students of all disciplines whose research touches on any aspect of ancient Greek or Roman culture. Our keynote speaker will be Professor Jonathan Burgess from the Department of Classics at the University of Toronto. Professor Burgess’ work on the Greek epic cycle, performance and orality, and intertextuality in ancient and modern travel literature has been, and continues to be, extremely influential.

Papers should be 15-20 minutes in length. Please send abstracts of no more than 300 words to itinera.western16@gmail.com by February 7, 2016.

The Canadian Institute in Greece invites applications for the Elisabeth Alföldi-Rosenbaum Fellowship to be held at the Institute in Athens from 1 September 2016 to 31 May 2017.

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

The Fellow will spend at least nine months resident in Athens and, in addition to his or her studies, the Fellow will help the Assistant Director of CIG with the work in the office and library (10 hours per week). Therefore, some previous experience in Greece and some knowledge of Modern Greek is an asset.

GRADUATE STUDY OPPORTUNITY: “PAPYRI IN THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN COLLECTION”
Master of Arts Program, Department of Classics, University of Manitoba

From Michael Sampson

As part of a research program on papyri purchased in 1920 by Bernard Grenfell and Francis Kelsey for the University of Michigan, I am soliciting applications for up to two MA students to start September 2016. The research program involves the publication of new material from this purchase, as well as the exploration of previously published texts’ connections to other collections worldwide.

The MA in Classics at the University of Manitoba is a two-year degree with 12 credit hours of required coursework (with the option of up to 12 additional hours) and a thesis. Preference will be given to applicants with a four-year BA and at least two years of coursework in both ancient Greek and Latin; proficiency in Greek is particularly essential. Though the call for applications is not limited to Canadians or Canadian residents, the Faculty of Graduate Studies at the University of Manitoba requires a minimum period of residency in Winnipeg to complete coursework and other program requirements.

Thesis topics will build upon the papyrological and philological training provided in the program, and may include the study of papyri from the 1920 purchase. Though these are principally documentary, students with interests in literary texts preserved on papyrus, or in Greek literature more broadly, are welcome to apply, as well. The selected applicant(s) will receive a minimum of CAD $15,000 per year for each of the two years. This support does not include tuition and fees. Additional funds will be available for summer travel to the Michigan collection in Ann Arbor, as well as for conference travel.

Winnipeg has a thriving community of Classicists: the local chapter of the Archaeological Institute of America hosts a popular lecture series, and a bilateral colloquium is held semi-annually with colleagues at the University of Winnipeg. The expertise of that institution’s faculty, which counts an historian of Roman Egypt with papyrological interests among its number, may be available to applicants. Other research programs of Classics faculty at the University of Manitoba which may complement applicants’ research interests include Greek economic history and the archaeology of trade, the art and archaeology of the Roman Empire, and the manuscript tradition of Plato.

DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY AND CLASSICS
THE KASTRO KALLITHEA ARCHAEOLOGICAL PROJECT
FIELD SCHOOL IN GREECE

From Margriet Haagsma

INTERESTED IN ARCHAEOLOGY IN GREECE?
ATTEND THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL FIELD SCHOOL AT KASTRO KALLITHEA AS PART OF A CANADIAN/GREEK ARCHAEOLOGICAL PROJECT.
MAY 22nd – JUNE 12th 2016
Narthaki, Nomos (Province of) Larissa, Greece

2016 will mark the twelfth season of the Kastro Kallithea Archaeological Project (KKAP), a project conducted by the University of Alberta and the Council of Antiquities in Larissa, Greece under the aegis of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and the Canadian Institute in Athens. Over the years, the archaeological project included mapping, surveying and excavating a very well preserved Classical/Hellenistic city located in central Greece. This season, the plan is continue the study of the artefacts found in ‘Building 10’, a presumably domestic structure which the team has been excavating over the past years.

The site at Kastro Kallithea is an ancient fortified city located on a 600 meter high hill in Thessaly, Greece, with a surface area of 34 hectares. The city had an acropolis, impressive defensive structures and an intact city plan with the architecture of many houses, and public structures visible at the surface. The archaeological fieldwork at the site has now reached a point where we need to examine the finds more closely.

Students will be introduced to artefact processing and will acquire knowledge about the site, its topography and its archaeological/historical setting as well as the archaeology of domestic space. You will learn to recognize and date the objects found during the excavations and you will help in processing them. This includes drawing, describing and photographing various types of artefacts, such as pottery and metal implements. You will also be introduced to numismatics, working with the original coins from the site. In order to contextualize our archaeological observations, we will visit museums and other sites in the region as part of the course.

This six credit course is open to students with a background in classics, classical archaeology, anthropology, art history and ancient history. Students from other disciplines may apply too but are encouraged to contact the project director prior to sending in their application.

These courses will partially fulfill the requirements for the BA with a major in Classics, BA with minor in Classics and the Faculty of Arts Certificate in International Learning.

ASCSA SUMMER SESSIONS
DEADLINE EXTENDED: JANUARY 30

From Mary Darlington

The summer program of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens consists of two six week sessions designed for those who wish to become acquainted with Greece and its major monuments, and to improve their understanding of the country’s landscape, history, literature, and culture from antiquity to the present.

The Directors for the 2016 Summer Sessions are Session I (June 13 through July 27): Professor Denver Graninger, University of California, Riverside; Session II (June 20 through August 3): Professor Amy Smith, University of Reading.

Eligibility: Enrollment is open to graduate and advanced undergraduate students and to high school and college instructors of classics and related subjects and is limited to twenty participants per session. The language of instruction is English. Applicants who are not enrolled or teaching at English-speaking colleges, universities, or schools, are required to supply acceptable evidence of proficiency in English.

Format: The ASCSA summer session has provided the most extensive exposure to Greece, ancient and modern, for generations of students of Classics and related fields. It has a strong academic component with participants researching and presenting topics on site and offers unique opportunities to interact with archaeologists in the field. Roughly half of each session is spent in travel throughout Greece. Three trips of varying duration give the participant an introduction to the major archaeological sites and museum collections in North and Central Greece, the Peloponnese, and Crete. The remainder of the session is devoted to study of the museums and monuments of Athens and the surrounding area with day trips to such sites as Marathon, Sounion, and Eleusis. The summer session's commitment to presenting a comprehensive view of Greece's rich history leads to long days and extensive walking in the hot Mediterranean climate, and participants should be prepared for a rigorous program of study.

Cost: Fees for the 2016 program are $5,000. This includes tuition, room for the entire six-week period, partial board in Athens, travel within Greece, and museum and site fees. International airfare, some meals, and incidental expenses are the participant's responsibility. Financial aid is available in the form of ASCSA scholarships, and many classical professional organizations have funding opportunities. They are awarded on the basis of academic merit. More information at http://www.ascsa.edu.gr/index.php/programs/ss-scholarships.

Application: More information and online application forms are available through the web site.

Applicants will complete an online application. Students are required to submit academic transcripts, scanned from the originals issued to the candidate in legible pdf format, as part of the online application, and arrange for the online submission of three letters of recommendation.
