La maladie dans le monde antique

Disease and the Ancient World

Call for papers

International Symposium

21-23 September 2017
Green Templeton College
University of Oxford

This symposium, the fith in the series of collaborations, aims to bring together scholars of different disciplines and specialisations who are interested in the ways that diseases (individual, epidemic or pandemic) in the ancient world affected society and history in the ancient world in any period up to 700 AD and also how we are able to identify them today from the archaeological, osteological and textual record. Discussion will be lead by two invited keynote speakers.

The symposium will be held at Green Templeton College in the University of Oxford and accommodated in a nearby College. Full details of accommodation costs, registration fees and domestic arrangements will be available by the end of December 2016 for those who have provisionally registered.

There will be unlimited space for posters (size 120 x 90 cm) on any topic related to the themes. Posters will be formally presented at a time reserved for this during the symposium.
