Please find below the Call for Papers for the next iteration of AMPAH (Annual Meeting of Postgraduates in Ancient History Conference). The 2024 conference is being hosted by Cardiff University.
Call for Papers: Interdisciplinary Approaches to People, Power and Place
Thursday 18th – Friday 19th April 2024
The world of Antiquity is vast. It encompasses Greco-Roman, Near Eastern, Asiatic, African, and ‘Celtic’ cultures, across centuries of history, spanning geographical regions traditionally stretching from the western Mediterranean to the far reaches of China. It is therefore critical that historians do not limit themselves to understanding it through a single perspective.
For this reason, the organising committee is looking for papers that tackle the topics of people, power, or place ranging from the Archaic period until the end of Late Antiquity.
Possible topics might include, but are not limited to:
-Reception of People, Power, and Place
-Archaeological Approaches to People, Power, and Place (Art, Architecture, Epigraphy, Rock Reliefs)
-Political and Military History (Rulers, Elites, Generals, etc.)
-Literary Approaches to People, Power, and Place (Biography, Criticism, Traditions)
-Narrating People, Power, and Place through Gender and Sexuality
-Religious Outlooks within the Ancient World -Identifying Ethnicity and Mobility in Antiquity
-International Relations and Geopolitics
-Social Constructs of People, Power, and Place -Beyond Greece and Rome
Those wishing to have a paper considered, please send a title, 300-word abstract, short bio, and their institution to ampahconference@gmail.com by Friday 1st December 2023.
As with previous conferences in this series, selected papers will be published in an edited volume. Submissions should aim to be as close to the theme as possible in their abstract and paper. Nevertheless, all submissions are warmly invited. The conference will have a hybrid format, with papers delivered at the Cardiff University John Percival Building and livestreamed for a remote audience. Online papers will be accepted.
