Second Call For Papers
Egypt: ancient histories and modern archaeologies
July 14-16 2006, Department of Archaeology/Collingwood College, University
of Durham
In 1978 the first volume of the New Directions in Archaeology series was
published by Cambridge University Press. The aim of these volumes was the
exploration of contemporary theories (in an explicitly interdisciplinary
manner) within an archaeological framework. Although these volumes were
highly influential in the development of the archaeological discipline,
the themes that were debated have rarely been taken up by Egyptologists.
This conference aims to increase engagement with these themes in an
Egyptological context.
The conference is aimed both at scholars working within the field of
Egyptology, and those working in related disciplines on similar material
culture, such as African Studies, Archaeology, Anthropology, Classics, Art
History and History, whose varied approaches will enrich and broaden the
scope of the conference and the discipline.
Abstracts of not more than 250 words are invited for papers of 20 minutes
duration, to be received by the organisers by 31st April 2006. Abstracts
should respond to one of the following titles and summaries listed below,
or to the original texts.

SUMMER RESIDENCY PROGRAM
The University of Cincinnati Classics Department is pleased
to announce the Summer Residency Program. Summer Residents, in
the fields of philology, history and archaeology will come to Cincinnati
for a minimum of one month and a maximum of three during
the summer (June 15 - September 15). Apart from residence in
Cincinnati during term, the only obligation of Summer Fellows is to
pursue their own research. They will receive free university
housing. They will also receive office space and enjoy the use of
the University of Cincinnati and Hebrew Union College Libraries.
The University of Cincinnati Burnam Classics Library
(http://www.libraries.uc.edu/libraries/classics/index.html) is one of the
world's premier collections in the field of Classical Studies.
Comprising 210,000 volumes and other research materials, the library
covers all aspects of the Classics: the languages and literatures,
history, civilization, art, and archaeology. Of special value for
scholars is both the richness of the collection and its accessibility
-- almost any avenue of research in the classics can be pursued deeply and
broadly under a single roof. The unusually comprehensive core collection,
which is maintained by three professional classicist librarians, is
augmented by several special collections such as 15,000 nineteenth century
German Programmschriften, extensive
holdings in Palaeography, Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies. At
neighboring Hebrew Union College, the Klau Library
(http://library.cn.huc.edu/), with holdings in excess of 445,000 volumes
and other research materials, is rich in Judaica and Near Eastern Studies.
Application Deadline: February 15. Applicants must have the Ph.D. in
hand at the time of application.

The Dover Fund, set up in honour of Sir Kenneth Dover, is administered by
the Hellenic Society. Its purposes are to further the study of the history
of the Greek language in any period from the Bronze Age to the 15th
century AD and to further the edition and exegesis of Greek texts,
including papyri and inscriptions, from any period within those same
limits. Typically grants are made for such purposes as books, photography
(including microfilm and xeroxing), and towards the costs of visits to
libraries, museums, sites and conferences. The sums awarded will vary
according to the needs of the applicant, but most grants will be in the
range £50 - £250; larger grants may be made from time to time at the
discretion of the awards committee.
Grants will be made to currently registered research students, and, within
the first five years of their appointment, to lecturers, teaching fellows,
research fellows, postdoctoral fellows and research assistants.
Applications must be received by mid February of the year in which a grant
is sought.
Deadline for the 2006 Dover Fund is 14 FEBRUARY 2006.

University and the generous support of research and teaching provided by
the Faculty. The Faculty currently teaches some 250 undergraduates reading
Classics (all of whom study both Greek and Latin language to degree level)
and almost 100 graduate students (reading for Masters and doctoral
degrees). It is one of the leading international centres in Classics, with
some 40 teachers in Faculty and College posts.
Applications are invited from suitably qualified candidates for:
a) University Lectureship in Classics (Ancient Literature). This post is

b) University Lectureship in Ancient History (Roman History). This post,
which is offered in conjunction with the Faculty of History, is created by
the retirement of Professor Peter Garnsey. It is open to those with a
primary research interest in any field of Roman history; but there is a
particular teaching need in Roman imperial history. Closing date: 28
February.
c) University Lectureship in Classics (any field). This post is open to
those with a primary research interest in any field of Classics; but the
successful applicant will be expected to make a major contribution to the
teaching in one of the classical sub-disciplines taught in the Faculty:
ancient literature, philosophy, history, art and archaeology, linguistics
and interdisciplinary studies. Closing date: 28 February.
d) Temporary (2 year) Faculty Lectureship (Roman History). This post is
created by the appointment of Dr Christopher Kelly to a Leverhulme Major
Research Fellowship. The post is open to those with a primary research
interest in any field of Roman history, who can teach a final year
undergraduate course in either Late Antiquity or Roman Britain. Closing
date: 28 February.

ethnic minority applicants, all of whom are under-represented in the
Faculty, will be welcomed.
