A message from the National Humanities Alliance:
"Advocates from all 50 states and Washington D.C. will be meeting virtually with their Members of Congress and congressional staff to discuss federal funding for the humanities. They will be thanking Members of Congress for the funding in the American Rescue Plan and pushing for increased funding for a wide range of humanities programs in FY 2022!
Help bolster their efforts by writing to your Members of Congress today!
We’ve won incremental increases for the NEH in each of the past 6 years, but given the needs of the humanities community and the crucial role they have to play in the current moment, we are urging a far more robust increase this year. Take action for the NEH!
Call for Application and Nominations for Editor of TAPA (2022-2025)
The current TAPA Editor Andromache Karanika will end her term of service with volume 151 (2021). Therefore, we are now opening a search for the next TAPA Editor, to cover volumes 152-155 (2022-2025), and inviting applications and nominations for the position.
TAPA is the only journal published by the Society for Classical Studies. Though founded as a philological journal, TAPA is now expected to reflect a broad spectrum of topics, sub-fields, and theoretical and methodological approaches within Greek and Roman Studies.

This message is intended for members in the US. Yesterday, President Trump’s budget blueprint was published. It calls for the elimination of many crucial educational and cultural agencies including the NEH, NEA, Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and Institute of Museum of Library Services (IMLS).
A brief survey of grants made by the NEH over the last seven years shows the potential impact on our field. The NEH has funded:
- Numerous research fellowships for individual scholars as well as the SCS-administered TLL Fellowship and the fellowship program at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens.
- Digitization, publication, and editing of ancient coins, inscriptions, and papyri.
- Projects that explore the use of computational methods for analyzing ancient texts.
- Archaeological projects from Italy to Jordan.
The Department of Classical Studies at the College of William and Mary invites applications for an adjunct teaching position for the Fall 2016 and Spring 2017. The teaching load will be two courses per semester, to include intermediate Latin and Greek Civilization. Consideration of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. Applications should be submitted on line through the following link:
