We invite scholars and students in all fields of papyrology to present works-in-progress to colleagues, learn about large projects in the field, and enjoy a weekend focused on scholarship. All participants must be active (paid) members of the American Society of Papyrologists.
There will be two types of sessions:
Presentations on large projects in papyrology that benefit the whole field (digitization projects, APIS, etc.) (max. 1 hour, including questions and discussion)
Presentations of individual projects (max. 30 minutes, including discussion)
We will begin on the evening of June 4 with a keynote address by Professor Brendan Haug (University of Michigan) and will continue on June 5 with the seminar sessions.
