CALL. 02.08.2016: Classics and Women: Ancient and Modern (WCC UK Panel at the Classical Associacion

WCC UK Panel at the Classical Association Annual Conference 26-29 April 2017.

The WCC UK invites submissions for our inaugural panel at the CA. Our aim is to demonstrate how much there is to gain from recognising historical, conscious, and unconscious bias in the ancient classical world (broadly defined) and in studies of the ancient world. The panel seeks to showcase recent academic work from a range of perspectives, underscoring the benefits of embracing heterogeneity in the study of Classics. We welcome in particular papers that seek to diversify Classics in approach, findings, or methodology.
