Call for Papers:
Memory and Material Culture
Symposium Date: Saturday, April 5, 2025 at 11am ET (Via Zoom)
On behalf of the Coalition of Master’s Scholars on Material Culture (CMSMC), the Symposium Committee is circulating a call for papers for our 2025 symposium around the theme of “Memory and Material Culture.”
Interested students are invited to submit an abstract by Friday, March 7, 2025. Please see the attached PDF that outlines the criteria for the CFP.
Gather, Listen, Engage. Working with and for others is what inspires us, gives life to research ideas, and a critical element of today’s archaeological practice. We encourage submissions that reflect upon, expand, and challenge community and collaborative archaeology. We welcome both traditional sessions and paper submissions, and those that disrupt a standard, individualistic conference praxis.
Dates: 9th – 11th May 2025
City Enigmatic: Rethinking Ancient Urbanism Across Disciplines
Date: April 4 – 5, 2025
Format: In-person, at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology
Keynote Speaker: Dr. Michael E. Smith, Director, ASU Teotihuacan Research Laboratory
The CAS invites graduate students to submit abstracts for papers that discuss the cities and urbanism of the ancient world. We anticipate that the topics may cover the following themes, but this list is neither prescriptive nor exhaustive:
• Geographical survey
• Theory
• Cities in texts
• Lived experience
• City vs. Periphery
• Urban Resilience
Submission Guidelines:
Proposals should include a title and an abstract no more than 250 words in length. Send the proposal along with a short bio to cas.upenn@gmail.com with the subject heading “CAS Abstract: APPLICANT NAME.” Please include your affiliation in the body of the email. The deadline for abstracts is the first week of March. The Center for Ancient Studies strives to bring together scholars from different disciplines engaged in the study of pre-modern civilizations. However, the organizing committee of CAS Graduate Student Conference regrets that travel subsidies for participants cannot yet be guaranteed. Instead, we are able to provide 2-day lodging and meals to panelists. If you have any inquiries, please feel free to contact the organizing committee via cas.upenn@gmail.com.
As you know, SAPIENS is a free digital magazine devoted to popularizing anthropological research and ideas for an international, general audience. Each March 1, the editorial team considers “pitches” from anthropologists about contributing to the magazine.
