CRASIS Annual Meeting & Master Class

Date: 13 (Masterclass) & 14 (Annual Meeting) February 2025

Venue: University of Groningen

Credits: 1 – 3 ECTS

The CRASIS Annual Meeting and Masterclass is a two-day event, designed to promote discussion and the exchange of ideas about the ancient world across traditional disciplinary boundaries among graduate students, postdocs, and established scholars. This year, our theme will be

*Approaching the Ancient World from Below*

The symposium focuses on the worlds, realities, and lived experience of the millions of non-elite individuals who populated the wider Mediterranean world in antiquity. We aim to address particular challenges in reconstructing their histories, including issues surrounding the (un)representativeness of sources such as literary texts, epigraphy, material culture, and archaeology, as well as the marginalization or silencing of these groups along various axes like ethnicity, gender, and class. Speakers will reflect on how new approaches can tackle these challenges, with a focus on recent methodological innovations and interdisciplinary dialogue.

The keynote, entitled ‘Rebuilding Ancient Cultural History: A Bottom-Up Approach’, will be delivered by Professor Peter Kruschwitz (Vienna).
