Society of Classical Studies 154th Annual Meeting
JANUARY 5-8, 2023
NEW ORLEANS
Call for Papers for Panel Sponsored by the American Society of Papyrologists
“Culture and Society in Greek, Roman, and Byzantine Egypt”
Organized by Christelle Fischer-Bovet (University of Southern California)
The American Society of Papyrologists invites proposals for papers for its panel “Culture and Society in Greek, Roman, and Byzantine Egypt” at the 2023 meeting of the Society for Classical Studies in New Orleans (5-8 January). Although the scope of papyrological studies is wide, submissions for this panel must meet at least one of the following criteria:
(a) they must deploy evidence for ancient literary cultures that is preserved on papyri, ostraka, or wooden tablets (in Greek, Latin, Coptic, demotic Egyptian, Arabic, or other pertinent languages);
(b) they must investigate aspects of the histories or cultures of Egypt from the Hellenistic to the early Islamic period.
Submissions from graduate students and faculty at all levels are welcome.
Respondents for this session will be appointed by the organizer once the abstracts have been selected.
Prospective speakers must be members in good standing of the SCS. Please see https://classicalstudies.org/membership for membership information.
Please send abstracts that follow the guidelines for individual abstracts (see the SCS Guidelines for Authors of Abstracts) by email to Christelle Fischer-Bovet (USC) at fischerb@usc.edu by February 15, 2022. Ensure that the abstracts are anonymous. The organizers will review all submissions anonymously, and their decision will be communicated to the authors of abstracts by March 31, 2022, with enough time that those whose abstracts are not chosen can participate in the individual abstract submission process for the upcoming SCS meeting.
