The Stanford Classics Department would like to congratulate our faculty, lecturers, fellows, graduate students, and alumni who are presenters, organizers, panelists, and discussants at the annual meeting this week!
Every winter, the Archaeological Institute of America (AIA) and the Society for Classical Studies (SCS), holds its joint annual meeting that invites scholars from across the globe to explore the ancient world. This year’s annual meeting is virtual and is taking place January 5-10, 2021.
Scholars listen and participate in different sessions that explore artifacts, art, social systems, fashion, cooking vessels, trade networks, shipwrecks, architecture, inscriptions, teaching, race and ethnicity, and archaeological research methods.
