GENDER IDENTITIES IN ITALY IN THE FIRST MILLENNIUM BC
20th-21st June 2006
Institute of Classical Studies
University of London
The development of individual and group identities and the processes by
which these form, change and interact is a key theme in recent classical
scholarship. One aspect of the subject which remains relatively
unexplored, however, is that of female identity and the role of gender in
the formation of identities, particularly in early Italy.
This conference (organised in conjunction with the Department of Classics,
National University of Ireland Galway and the Institute of Archaeology,
UCL) will explore the role of gender in shaping identities and in
particular the formation female identities in Italian society from
prehistory to the early Roman empire. It will examine questions such
as: the roles, status and identities of women in the various pre-Roman
societies of Italy; the interaction of gender with other forms of
identity, such as ethnic identity or other forms of group identity; the
impact of the process of municipalisation on female identity, status and
social roles; the role of women in Roman colonisation; the effects of the
cultural changes following the Roman conquest on female identity and the
influence of gender on the adoption of Roman cultural practices. The
conference will also examine the boundaries between male and female
identities and areas of activity and the respective roles of men and women
in the creation of female identities. It will seek to examine existing
methodologies and theoretical approaches and to develop new ones, and will
adopt a cross-disciplinary approach to the problem, addressing the
problems posed by archaeological, art historical, epigraphic and literary
evidence.
Speakers include: Larissa Bonfante (New York), Ruth Whitehouse (UCL),
Marietta Hörster (Rostock), Bridget Sandhoff (Iowa), Corinna Riva
(Glasgow), Lisa Cougle (Canberra), Margarita Gleba (Copenhagen), Kathryn
Lomas (UCL), Edward Herring (Galway), Vedia Izzet (Southampton), Brenda
Haack Fineberg (Knox College, Illinois), Karen Hersch (Temple University),
Kelli Stanley (San Francisco State University), (Lien Foubert (Nijmegen),
Bryony Hopwood (University of New England, NSW), Annette Rathje
(Copenhagen), and Fay Glinister (UCL). A full programme is available on

**The Greek Bible in Byzantine and Ottoman Judaism**
I have been granted substantial funding by the (British) Arts & Humanities
Research Council for this research project.
The aim of the project to collect all data relating to biblical texts in
Greek used by Jews in Late Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the early modern
period, to analyse them and establish the underlying history, and to
publish the results.
The duration of the project is 38 months (ideally from 1 March 2006 to 30
April 2009).
I am now looking for two post-doctoral researchers and a technical officer
to work on the website and database.
The researchers must be fluent in English (written and spoken) and have
good Biblical Hebrew and Greek (preferably post-classical).
Ideally they should be free to start on 1 March, but I'm prepared to wait
a month or two for a well-qualified person.
Potential applicants should contact me urgently and send a cv.
