The Yale Interdisciplinary Working Group for the Study of Antiquity will hold its third meeting on Thursday, December 1st, from 4:00 to 5:30pm in Phelps Hall 310.
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.
This month’s presentations are organized under the title Macro and Micro Analyses of Ancient Word.
Daniel Schwennicke (LING) will follow with a talk titled ”Dialect in Greek lyric poetry: epichoric and generic resonances.”
