The University of Missouri-Columbia Every other spring the University of Missouri-Columbia Art History & Archaeology Graduate Student Association is responsible for organizing a joint graduate student symposium in conjunction with the University of Kansas. The host campus alternates each year. In 2006, the AHAGSA will host a symposium entitled Urbs et Rus: Exploring Aspects of the Urban and Rural. We are extremely pleased to announce that our Keynote speaker for the event will be Dr. Susan Alcock, Director of the Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World at Brown University (effective January 1, 2006). She received her BA in Archaeology and History from Yale University, and has an MA and PhD from Cambridge University. She specializes in the Hellenistic and Roman East, as well as landscape archaeology. Dr. Alcock is currently excavating on the Vorotan Project in Southern Armenia. Her publications include: Graecia Capta: The Landscapes of Roman Greece (Cambridge: University Press, 1993) and Archaeologies of the Greek Past: Landscape, Monuments and Memories (W.B. Stanford Lectures, Cambridge: University Press, 2002). The preliminary events will begin on Friday, March 10th with a private tour of the University of Missouri-Columbia Museum of Art & Archaeology for the speakers from 5:00-6:00 pm, as well as a pizza party that will follow. The symposium itself will take place on Saturday, March 11th at which time students will present their papers and the keynote lecture will be given. There will be a dinner Saturday evening to conclude the festivities. For more information please contact the ahagsa@students.missouri.edu |
