The Archaeology Program and Department of Classical Studies at Boston University invite you to attend the Spring 2024 panel discussion on the topic of “The Archaeology of Identity in “Peripheries” of the Roman World: An Emerging Scholar Symposium.” The symposium is Friday, April 5, 2024, 2pm to 5pm in the Boston University Sargent College, 635 Commonwealth Avenue, Room 101, Boston, MA. A reception following in the Sellenger Lounge, 2nd Floor.

This panel brings together emerging scholars and senior scholar discussants to discuss how archaeological methods can illuminate personal identity among “peripheral” communities of the Roman world. We position the concept of “periphery” in both the geographic sense (e.g., Roman Britain, Africa, and the Roman east) and the cultural sense, including communities systematically disadvantaged by Roman society (e.g., women, slaves, racialized populations).

Funded by Boston University Diversity & Inclusion and College of Arts & Sciences, with additional support from the Boston Chapter of the Archaeological Institute of America.
