RESOURCES IN CLASSICS FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS

This list is a continuation of Resources in Art History for Graduate Students. The many archeological and conference opportunities for Classics Graduate Students prompted the idea to move these categories off into their own pages for the convenience of all interested readers. This will allow full postings of descriptions, so that the list may be printed out and passed around (Yes! You can do that with this! A little acknowledgement of the source is all I ask).

Don't forget to investigate the other pages here: Pre-Doctoral Grants and Fellowships, Calls for Papers, Study Abroad, and so on. Use the links at the top or bottom of this page.

Suggestions and observations are, as always, welcome.

MODERNITY OF ANCIENT SCULPTURE: AN INTERNATIONAL COLLOQUIUM




25-26 July 2009. Burwalls, University of Bristol. "This colloquium explores a different 
premise: that the modern study of ancient sculpture and the making of modern art are inextricably 
intertwined. We invite proposals for papers on any aspect of the relationship between ancient 
sculpture and modern art (that is, art from the period between Winckelmann's History and the present). 
We particularly encourage speakers to develop new ideas and speculations, rather than presenting the 
results of previous research. The aim is to raise issues and generate discussion; we plan to include 
10-12 papers of 30-40 minutes each, all in plenary session, with generous time for discussion...[No 
due date for papers; no address to send them to] Try contacting: Charles Martindale (Professor of Latin and Director, Institute of Greece, Rome, and the Classical Tradition, C.A.Martindale@bristol.ac.uk)
