First Call for Papers
Introduction to SOMA 2004
The eighth annual meeting for postgraduate researchers in Mediterranean
Archaeology will take place this coming February 20th to 22nd at Trinity
College Dublin. The symposium provides an informal setting for predoctoral
researchers across Europe and beyond to come together to present and discuss
their works in progress. Researchers from a wide range of archaeological and
related backgrounds are invited and encouraged to participate.
This year, the organisers hope to make the symposium inclusive of regions
and time periods outside the eastern Mediterranean region, and the Bronze
Age and Classical periods, which in the past have been the subject of
strong focus.
Researchers working on the Western Mediterranean, North Africa, and other
time periods are strongly encouraged to participate.

LAMBDA CLASSICAL CAUCUS
The Lambda Classical Caucus is a coalition of queers--including, but not
limited to, lesbians, bisexuals, gay men, and transgendered people--and
their friends and supporters. It was founded in 1989 as the Lesbian and Gay
Classical Caucus. Although Lambda is a group affiliated with the American
Philological Association, you do not have to be a member of the APA to
join. Anyone who wishes to participate, and who is sympathetic to our
mission, is welcome to join.
The purpose of the Caucus is twofold: scholarly and political. Our
scholarly purpose is to promote research that reflects the personal and
intellectual interests of queer scholars, and provide a bridge between
Classics and the emerging interdisciplinary fields of LGBT/Queer Studies,
the history of sexuality, cultural studies, and gender theory. We hope both
to advance the study of the articulation of sexual experiences in classical
antiquity, their social constructions (both ancient and modern), and their
place in classical society, and to contribute to contemporary debates about
the social meaning of sex, the politics of personal life, and the
constitutive role of ideology in the formation of human subjects.
The Caucus' political purpose is to focus upon and educate about the
existence and effects of homophobia in the profession, and actively assist
queer scholars in their struggles against stigmatization. Our aim is to
achieve greater personal and academic freedom and dignity for such scholars
within the profession of Classics, and to create a working environment in
which all classicists can feel able to study aspects of sexual life in
antiquity without fear of interference, intimidation, or loss of
professional standing.
Lambda sponsors a panel every year at the annual APA meeting on a topic
related to its mission and organized by one of its members. It issues a
newsletter (Iris) to its members once or twice a year. We work closely with
the Women's Classical Caucus and the APA's Committee on the Status of Women
and Minorities, with whom we co-sponsor the annual opening night reception
at the APA. Membership meetings are held annually at the APA.

University of Leicester
School of Archaeology and Ancient History
Lecturer A in Archaeology
£22,191 to £25,451 pa (1 August 2002 rates)
Available from 1 September 2003 until 31 July 2007
Ref: A5571
Applications are invited for a temporary post in archaeology to cover for
Professor Graeme Barker during his period as a Pro-Vice-Chancellor of the
University.
Candidates must be able to teach archaeozoology at both undergraduate and
postgraduate levels, but the ability to contribute to the teaching of
another area of archaeology, preferably Neolithic/Bronze Age archaeology
and/or quantitative analysis/human bone analysis is essential.
We seek someone, preferably already having completed a PhD, who wishes to
gain experience working in an RAE Grade 5 department that also obtained the
maximum score of 24 in the recent QAA assessment of archaeology
departments. They must be flexible in their approach to the subject and
willing to work as part of a team. They will be expected to participate in
the research culture of the School, including publication of research as
well as contributions to, and attendance at, School research seminars.
The postholder will co-ordinate and teach Archaeozoology at both third year
and Master's Degree Level and contribute to another area of specialist
teaching as detailed above. Contributions are expected towards the first
year outline course, preferably covering aspects of the Neolithic and
Bronze Ages, together with possible contributions to the Aims and Methods
course. There is also a weekly tutorial with one or more small groups of
first year students in support of these two courses. In the second year,
the post-holder will be required to contribute lectures to Science in
Archaeology and Environmental Archaeology courses as appropriate and
possibly to the second year course on Issues in Early Prehistory, together
with fortnightly tutorials associated with this course. All staff
participate in an annual field school to train undergraduates in both field
and post-excavation techniques. Some additional help with assessment may be
requested, e.g. with fieldwork reports.
The postholder will be responsible to the Head of the School of Archaeology
and Ancient History and will assist with administration across a range of
the School's activities where required.
Downloadable application forms and further particulars are available by
following the links here, or in hardcopy from the Personnel Office, tel:

support of a fully completed application form.
Closing date: 22 July 2003.
