The Yale Interdisciplinary Working Group for the Study of Antiquity will hold its fourth meeting of the academic year Thursday, January 19th, from 4:30-6:00. The location will be announced shortly. 

YIWSA is a forum for graduate students who take the distant past as their object of study. Once a month participants gather to hear two students from different departments give papers that serve as the basis for a broader discussion across conventional disciplinary boundaries. Our scope for the term “antiquity” (or “antiquities”) is broad: we welcome students of cultures across the globe and periods across the ages to share their approaches to the past.

Nina Farizova

(EALL) will give a paper titled

​ ​
“How to Express your Feelings: Lessons from Ancient Japanese Poets”, and ​

Robert Middeke-Conlin (NELC) will follow with a talk titled “Hidden Cost While Transporting Grain in the Old Babylonian Kingdom of Larsa.”

Refreshments will be provided.
