Culture and Religion in the Ancient Mediterranean (CRAM)
The goal of the Culture and Religion in the Ancient Mediterranean Colloquium is to promote high-level, interdisciplinary dialogue among faculty and graduate students who deal with religion and culture in antiquity in the Mediterranean basin and west Asia, all rather loosely defined. CRAM meets monthly during the academic year. Each meeting lasts about an hour, and typically is centered on a pre-circulated paper. CRAM is currently administered by Religious Studies.
Below you will find the CRAM schedule for 2009/10. Please note that all meetings except November 19 will take place on Tuesdays at noon in the Saunders Inn room 116 E.
