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 dates and programming for the spring of 2012. Please note, all events will take place on a Tuesday, from 12:00-1:00p.m. at the Joukowsky Institute, RI Hall Room 008, unless otherwise marked. Papers will be e-mailed out and posted below approximately one week ahead of the date indicated. If you have difficulties accessing the paper, please contact Nicole_Vadnais@brown.edu. For further information or queries, please contact Saul_Olyan@brown.edu. Light luncheon fare will be provided! Please come and enjoy!
