New Research on Ancient Armenia
Geneva Workshop for Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Researchers
University of Geneva, 8 June 2018
Concept
The Armenian Studies team (Unité d’aménien) at the MESLO Department, University of Geneva, ispleased to invite graduate students and early career researchers (not yet holding a permanent position inAcademia) to present their current research on any aspect of Ancient and Medieval Armenia to an audience of their peers.
The workshop has been conceived as an international forum in which the newest generation of researchers in the field can engage in meaningful discussion on methodologies, problems and perspectives. Presentations detailing work in progress, research projects, and innovative approaches are welcome.
In the interest of drawing attention to comparatively less-known topics, preference may be given to subjects other than ‘Classical’ 5 th century language, literature, history and art.
