GRL is a platform for anyone at Yale working on ancient Mediterranean-related projects to present their work to a cross-departmental audience, including (but not limited to) those studying Classical Archaeology, Classics, History, History of Art, Jewish Studies, Medieval Studies, Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations, Religious Studies, and Digital Humanities. GRL provides an opportunity to get feedback and rehearse conference papers in a friendly environment. Lunch is provided, courtesy of the Classics Department, for those who sign up to attend in advance.
Below is the schedule for the Fall 2024 semester. The events will be held in Phelps 401, on select Thursdays, 12 PM to 1 PM. Reminders, lunch sign-ups, and posters will be circulated prior to each event.
