The Late Antiquity Reading Group (LARG)
at Yale invites all students, faculty, and members of the public who are interested in late antiquity to gather together. We discuss common,pre-circulated works in progress or recent publications in the field. Often, guest scholars join us to discuss their new work.
We will meet several times during the academic year. Due to the pandemic, we will meet virtually this semester.
Materials for each discussion will be circulated three to four weeks in advance. We ask that you read the material in advance of each meeting. To be added to the group’s mailing list or to receive the materials for our next meeting, please contact Austin Andrews (austin.andrews@yale.edu). You can also join YLARG’s Facebook group to stay up to date on upcoming events.
Co-Conveners: Austin Andrews and Jake Horton
Faculty Advisors: Maria Doerfler and Noel Lenski
YLARG is Made possible through the generous support of Archaia, the MacMillan Center,
the Yale Program of Jewish Studies, the Yale Divinity School, and the Yale Departments
of Religious Studies, Art History, Near Eastern Civilizations and Languages, and Classics.
