STAGE, the Postgraduate Classical Association of the Universities of St Andrews, Glasgow and Edinburgh, announces its annual Postgraduate Conference for 2010 to be held on the 13th of February in Edinburgh, and invites the submission of abstracts. THE STAGE POSTGRADUATE RESEARCH NETWORK is a collaborative research network for Classics departments in St Andrews, Glasgow and Edinburgh fostering closer links between Classics postgraduates at the Scottish universities. There is a STAGE research training day each semester, and an annual postgraduate research colloquium rotating around the different universities. Re-launched in 2005, the association is run for postgraduates by postgraduates and promotes interaction between the Classics departments of the three universities. The purpose of the STAGE conference is to allow postgraduates in Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology in the UK and Europe to interact and exchange ideas, get feedback on their work in a receptive and low-pressure environment, and develop future directions for research. We welcome proposals for 20-minute papers making developed arguments, as well as for posters summarising developing research. It is our hope that postgraduates at all stages of their degrees will attend. Abstracts for papers should be no longer than 200 words and should outline the paper?s argument. Proposals for posters should be no longer than 100 words and should describe what will be presented. In either case, applicants should also include details of their current degree, including institution, supervisor, and research topic. Papers and posters in any area of Classics, Ancient History or Archaeology are welcome. The deadline for submissions is the 10th of January 2010. Please submit your abstract for a poster or a paper in the body of an email and send to [log in to unmask] -- The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.
