Ain Shams University Center of Papyrological Studies is holding its fifth annual conference between 26-28 March 2014. The conference is titled The Word and the Image in the Ancient Civilizations.
The blog aggregates news about publications, activities, etc. related to Egyptian/Arabic scholarship in the field of Greco-Roman studies and thus seeks to challenge the Eurocentrism prevalent in the field. It aims also at directing the attention to relevant materials from modern nonacademic/public contexts; roughly from 1798-to the present. The news comes mainly from Egypt without excluding other Arabic countries.
