Dear colleagues,

We've extended to January 21 the submission deadline for the 21st annual
Duke-UNC Graduate Colloquium, to take place on March 19-21, 2010.  In
case you were uncertain about the call for papers (included below),
here's the short version: rather than have specific topical content this
year, we're simply soliciting papers from all graduate students, à la
individual abstract submissions for the AIA/APA or regional organizations.

So send us your abstracts!  Submissions are welcome from graduate
students in classical archaeology, philology, and related fields.

Sincerely,
Ted Gellar-Goad
Co-Chair, UNC Classics Colloquium Committee

=====================


The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Department of Classics
and the Duke University Department of Classical Studies present:

The 21st annual Duke-UNC Graduate Colloquium
NEW GRADUATE RESEARCH IN THE CLASSICS
March 19-21, 2010

Keynote speaker: Dr. Christofilis Maggidis, Dickinson College

This colloquium will present current and innovative work by graduate
students in the Classics.  We will hold a forum for the presentation and
discussion of new insights, critiques, and interpretations by graduate
students in the field, in order to embrace and acknowledge contemporary
contributions to the oldest discipline in the Humanities.  The
colloquium sollicits papers presenting current research on any topic,
including but not limited to progressive approaches to the Classics,
literary theory, innovative methods of archaeology, feminist
perspectives, pedagogy, psychoanalysis, new connections between or
within texts and artifacts, and fresh analyses of Graeco-Roman
archaeology and literature.

We welcome submissions from classical studies and related fields.
  Papers with interdisciplinary approaches or aspects are encouraged.
  Our focus is on the presentation and interpretation of evidence from
the perspectives of classical archaeology, philology, and literary
criticism, as well as classical history and classical art history.  Some
funds will be available to assist with travel expenses.

Submit your 500-word (excluding title and works cited) abstract as an
email attachment by January 10, 2010 to Ted Gellar-Goad
at classicscolloquium at gmail.com <mailto:classicscolloquium at gmail.com>.
  Include in the body of your email your name, paper title, institution,
and email address.  Do not put your name on the abstract itself.  For
any abstract questions (but not submissions), or for general questions
