All About the Ancient World (AATAW) is a continual online lecture series featuring early career researchers (who we define as graduate students and those who have graduated within the last two years) who discuss any aspect of the ancient world. The project has four main goals: (1) to promote early career researcher voices, especially in the humanities, (2) to promote cross-cultural, global, and interdisciplinary consideration of the ancient world, (3) to promote skills in communicating to a non-specialist, general audience, and (4) to make the humanities accessible, interesting, and relevant to the public. Rolling submissions, including an abstract and bibliography, are due every two months to provide a flexible schedule, and are reviewed by the AATAW team. Approved presenters ultimately create their own virtual presentations, which AATAW reviews and uploads to the AATAW YouTube channel.
