MSc in Slavery and Forced Labour Studies
The School of History and Classics at the University of Edinburgh is
offering a new MSc programme from September 2005 on Slavery and Forced
Labour Studies. The programme is offered by the Graduate School of the
University of Edinburgh as a Taught MSc (one year full time, two years part
time).
The MSc is a comparative history programme, offering the study of slavery
and forced labour right across a vast range of historical periods and
geographies, from classical antiquity to the 20th century, ancient Italy
and Greece, Africa, and the Americas - as well as the study of the
development of slavery as an idea in modern European thought, and its use
as an image in 20th century Hollywood cinema.
The taught MSc also includes research training and supervised work on a
dissertation on a topic within the remit of the MSc. All courses are taught
by members of staff in the School of History and Classics, and students
will be assigned a dissertation supervisor in an area of their more
specific interest.

Three PhD-positions in Classics at the University of Groningen
At the University of Groningen (The Netherlands) there will be three posts
for PhD-research available in the field of Classics (Greek, Latin or
Ancient History). These are fully funded positions for a period of four
years (1 September 2005–2009). The research will be carried out within the
framework of the interdisciplinary research project 'From Alexandria to
Rome', which is concerned with the cultural dynamics of the Hellenistic and
Roman world. Further description is appended below. Prospective candidates
should get in touch with one of the undersigned for further information and
an application format. Completed applications should be received in
Groningen before 1 May. Interviews will be held in May.
Groningen University is an internationally oriented university situated in
a lively regional centre (ca. 170,000 inhabitants) in the North of the
Netherlands, but at only 2,5 hours from Amsterdam Airport. The Classics
Department is well-known for its many international research activities,
including workshops and conferences on Hellenistic poetry, Flavian poetry,
the ancient novel and the Greek post- classical city.
In Greek the proposed research should preferably concern Hellenistic poetry
(III-I BC), and the proposals may focus on individual authors or on aspects
of literary theory, the social and ideological function of Hellenistic
poetry or the specific character of Hellenistic poetry as reception of
earlier Greek literature and object of reception in Roman poetry.
In Latin, we would especially welcome proposals concerned with the
reception of Hellenistic in Roman Poetry and/or the social and ideological
functions of literature in the Roman world, preferably in the period of the
Early Empire (Augustus through the second century).
In Ancient History we shall consider proposals on any topic within the
field, but we would especially welcome proposals on: 1: The Greek city in
transition (300 bc-ad 300) - social, political and cultural aspects 2:
Social and economic history of the Roman Empire 3: Late Antiquity.
