The Antiquities Interdisciplinary Research Group (AIRG) brings together faculty and graduate students from Anthropology, Art and Art History, Classics, English, History, Philosophy, and Religious Studies for high-level, interdisciplinary dialogue on “antiquity,” broadly defined to include the ancient Greek and Roman worlds and other cultures around the Mediterranean basin, as well as west and south Asia and prehistorical cultures of the Americas. The group meets around 3 times per semester to discuss a pre-circulated piece of work, such as an article in progress or a dissertation or book chapter, by one of the members. In addition, we plan to host one nationally renowned scholar per year. Meeting Location: Center for the Humanities Conference Room Friday, February 21, 9:30-11am EST Dr. Allannah Karas: “Displacement and Relation: Paul Robeson, Emma Amos, and the Weary (Black) Hercules.” Monday, March 17, 11am-12:30pm EST Dr. Robyn Walsh: “The Last Apologetic Island: On Monotheism and Origins at the Fin de Siècle.” Friday, April 10, 11am-12:30pm EST Dr. Han Tran: "Never one without the other—the Twinness of the Dioskouroi." Thursday, April 24, 11am-12:30pm EST Dr. Charles Bartlett: “The Invisible Hand of… Tyche? Adam Smith, Greek and Roman Historians, and Economic Agency.”
