CALL FOR PAPERS for the Work-in-Progress seminar series at the Institute of
Classical Studies, London.
The series organisers would like to invite postgraduates to present a paper
at one of our weekly seminars.
The Work-in-Progress series:
The primary aim of these seminars is to provide a friendly and stimulating
forum in which postgraduates, with interests in any aspect of the Classical
world or the ancient Near East, may present papers drawn from their ongoing
research. Audiences are comprised exclusively of fellow students, mostly
from among the large postgraduate community within the University of London.
All papers are followed by open and relaxed discussion of the issues raised.
We aim to attract speakers and audience members with diverse research
interests and, in so doing, we hope to provide a valuable opportunity for
academic and social networking, and for the exchange of ideas and techniques
across disciplinary and institutional boundaries.
Recently presented papers include:
* Megastenes: a man on a mission. A Seleukid ambassador in India
* Expulsion from the Senate: the prevalence and effects of
the Censorial Nota in Republican Rome
* Anahita and Achaemenid colonisation in Lydia
* Constantine and the end of the urban cohorts
* Kinship in Thucydides: Sparta and its kinship ties with the Greeks of the West
* A Poet Between Two Worlds: Ovid and Dracontius Tristia
* Aristotelian and non-Aristotelian elements in Aristotle's account of
voluntary action
Practicalities:
Seminars take place on Friday afternoons in term time, at Senate House in
London. Funds are available to reimburse speakers for reasonable travelling
expenses. Returning speakers are always welcome.
If you would like to discuss presenting a paper (of between thirty and
forty-five minutes in length), please contact either Duncan Taylor (King's
