Competition and Celebration figured largely in the lives of the Roman people. Both were fundamental to Roman religion, art, theatre, politics, and sociology. This conference will be a one day conference for students to present papers on aspects of competition and celebration in the Roman world. We invite submissions of abstracts from graduate and senior undergraduate students of Classics, Archaeology, Art History, Religious Studies, History, Anthropology, and related disciplines. Abstracts of no more than 250 words should be submitted by March 1, 2000.
Shared papers are also welcome.
Limited billeting is available with host graduate students. The conference is under the auspices of the University's School of Liberal Arts, which will look to publishing a selection of the papers. Solo performance by Bringwonder. Registration 9.15 a.m. Introduction and welcome 9.30-10.30 a.m.
