Classics Ireland now has a new and much shorter address:
http://www.classicsireland.com
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Council of the Classical Association recently decided to extend its
support for the attendance of postgraduate students at its annual
conference to non-UK and Ireland students. Accordingly, applications are
requested from students pursuing postgraduate studies in any area of
Classics for bursaries to facilitate their attendance at this year's
conference at Newcastle, 6-9 April 2006.
Preference will given to students who are presenting a paper at the
conference, and to those whose home institutions are unable to provide
financial assistance, but students who are not presenting but for whom
attendance would be beneficial, as well as students in receipt of partial
support from elsewhere, are also eligible to apply.
Applications should be sent, by post, to me (Professor Douglas Cairns) at
the address below. Each application should specify why attendance at the
conference would be beneficial for the student's research and indicate the
likelihood of funding from any other source. It should also be accompanied
by a short letter of support from the student's supervisor or Head of
Department.
Yours sincerely,
Douglas Cairns

The Roman Society's January lecture will take place on Tuesday of next
week, 17 January at 5.30pm in Room 336, North Block, Senate House, Malet
Street, London WC1E 7HU.
Dr Rick Jones and Dr Damian Robinson will lecture on 'Urbanisation and
inequality at Pompeii: the excavation of Insula VI, 1'.
Following the move of the Society's office and the Library, the venue of
our lectures has also changed. To reach Room 336 enter the Loggia under
the central tower of the Senate House and turn left if coming from Malet
Street or right if coming from Russell Square. Go through the swing doors
at the end of the Loggia and continue straight through, almost to the far
end, and take one of the large lifts on the right up to the third floor.
When you come out of the lift, turn left.
If you come to the lecture, you will also be able to visit the Library,
which will re-open on Monday, 16 January.

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.
