Within the emerging and dynamic field of ancient technical literature there is a wealth of information addressing the way ancients viewed the nature of race and ethnicity in the diverse cultures of the ancient Mediterranean. This panel seeks to provide scholars working in this area with a forum to explore the exciting possibilities of this new direction in ancient ethnicity studies as well as an opportunity to collaborate towards further work. We are especially interested in papers that show the interactions between one or more of the fields (geography, ethnicity, and medicine), and welcome contributions from any time period, so long as the focus is on the ancient Mediterranean.
Abstracts ca. 100-200 words should be submitted to Rebecca Kennedy (kennedyr@denison.edu) and Molly Jones-Lewis (mollyayn@gmail.com) by July 6, 2013. We will be proposing this as a panel to be held at the 2013 CAMWS meeting in Iowa City.
