[INDOLOGY] CFP- Teaching Antiquity Symposium: April 18 2026

[Tyler Williams]

Dear colleagues,

A colleague involved with the Teaching Antiquity Symposium asked me to
share the following announcement, with the note that the organizers are
trying to involve more scholars of antiquity from outside of those
disciplines and areas traditionally associated with "classical studies." I
hope some of you may find it to be of interest.

Best regards,

Tyler Williams

University of Chicago


*April 18**th **2026, Northwestern University Campus, Evanston IL. *


Global Antiquities Northwestern invites abstracts for papers to be
delivered at its second “Teaching Antiquity Symposium” this spring. We hope
again to bring together instructors and curators of diverse regional and
disciplinary specializations to discuss contemporary developments in the
teaching of ancient cultures, to share ideas and challenges with a broad
range of college and museum based scholars. We invite submissions that help
us reflect on how we can learn from each other to enhance how we teach and
display the ancient cultures that we study.


Topics may include but are not limited to:

● teaching the past beyond the Mediterranean

● teaching the past in global perspective

● teaching antiquity across disciplines

● teaching ancient languages (any ancient language)

● teaching with objects

● digital approaches to the study of antiquity in teaching


In addition to thematically organized panels, the symposium will include a
keynote address by Professor Clara Bosak-Shroeder of the University of
Illinois Urbana-Champaign


Open to all scholars with college or museum affiliation. Graduate student
submissions are welcome.


Abstracts should be no more than 300 words and should be emailed to
