Center for the Ancient Mediterranean

Displaced Communities Workshop

November 8

This workshop brings together an interdisciplinary assemblage of scholars working on refugees, deportees, exiles, metics, and other displaced communities whose existence can be traced in the inscriptional and archaeological records. Talks and discussions will focus on the rich variety of cultural dynamics that occur when communities relocate or are uprooted and must forge a place for themselves in an entirely new social landscape. More information will be posted closer to the date.
