The Classical Association of the Atlantic
States Call for
Papers 2013 Annual Meeting, October
10-12 The Inn at Penn |
We invite individual and group proposals on all aspects of the classical world and classical reception, and on new strategies and resources for improved teaching. Especially welcome are presentations that aim at maximum audience participation and integrate the concerns of K-12 and college faculty, and that consider ways of communicating about ancient Greece and Rome outside of our discipline and profession. We are hoping to include an undergraduate research session featuring presentations based on outstanding term papers, senior theses or other scholarly projects. All proposals must be submitted to the online form at the CAAS website, and all submitters must be members of CAAS. The submission deadline has passed for the fall 2014 meeting.
Please note that all submitters must be members
of CAAS and all abstracts and proposals must be submitted electronically, using
the online forms that are linked to this page.
