  Program in Early Cultures Graduate Student Forum

  Are you a Brown graduate student whose research deals with pre-modern history, society, or culture, from any disciplinary perspective, and focusing on any geographical region? If so, the Program in Early Cultures invites you to participate in our PEC Graduate Student Forum: a space for graduate student community, interaction, and exchange, between and across our scholarly specializations.

  We will meet once a month by Zoom, with programs designed around your requests, led by panels of you and your colleagues. Following up on ideas from graduate students this past spring, we offer this fall program:

  Friday Dec. 17, 12:00-1:00pm EDT. Anti-Black Racism and Graduate Study in Antiquity.
  Panel discussion with short, pre-circulated readings. Assessing disciplinary issues, and strategies to connect teaching, scholarship, and professional engagement.

  Cultures and Religions of the Ancient Mediterranean (CRAM) Discussion: Saul Olyan (Judaic Studies),”Animals as Covenant Partners in the Hebrew Bible: Genesis 9:8-17 and Hosea 2:20 (Eng. 2:18)”

  A paper by Saul Olyan (Judaic Studies).

  The Brown University seminar on Cultures and Religions of the Ancient Mediterranean (CRAM) serves as a gathering to promote high-level, interdisciplinary dialogue among faculty and graduate students who deal with religion and culture in the ancient Mediterranean basin and west Asia in the broadest terms. CRAM meets monthly during the academic year. Each meeting lasts about an hour, and typically is centered on a pre-circulated paper by one of our participants. We are especially interested in work in progress; CRAM is a great context for working on new ideas and thinking through new problems.

  Please note that all meetings will take place on Tuesdays, 12:00-12:55 p.m. EST, on Zoom. Papers will be distributed by e-mail approximately ten days prior to the date indicated for your preparation; the Zoom link will be included at that time. Newcomers are always welcome!
