Description

The Classics Department at King's College London will be hosting the Annual Meeting of Postgraduates in Ancient History (AMPAH) on the 25th of March 2017. AMPAH is an annual event that has been held since 1985, making it one of the oldest yearly postgraduate conferences in the field of Classics. It provides doctoral students with an opportunity to gain experience presenting their work and to network and share ideas with fellow postgraduates as well as staff in ancient history.

To reflect KCL’s global research focus, partnerships, initiatives, and international student-body, AMPAH 2017 will invite papers from postgraduate students of ancient history, including the history and historiography of Classical Greece and Rome, the ancient Near East and Egypt, Late Antiquity and the Byzantine Empire, and of comparable periods of Asian (Chinese, Indian, etc.), African, and Central-South American history.

The call for papers have been released and can be viewed on our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/AMPAH2017/?hc_ref=PAGES_TIMELINE&fref=nfand can also be viewed here: https://listserv.liv.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind1611&L=CLASSICISTS&P=88434

Do you have any information on accomodation and lodging?

AMPAH is a one-day event. If delegates require accomodation, you are responsible for booking your own lodging. We recommend you stay with friends if at all possible, however, The University of London operates several student residence halls that offer short-term visitor accommodation (usually up to seven days) during the year. LSE also offers short-stay term-time housing for academic visitors to London.

How can I contact the organizer with any questions?
