SASA 2024 Annual Virtual Conference - Opening the Ancient World: Representations of the Past in Ancient and Modern Times

Conference Goals

SASA was founded in reaction to the devaluation of the study of the ancient world in universities and high schools. A group of graduate students and early career scholars came together to expand exposure and access to the ancient world and re-envision how the ancient world is studied. Our founding Director, David Danzig, sought out those who shared this frustration and the commitment to make change. Together, we began to reach out and develop our strategic vision for SASA.

Save Ancient Studies Alliance is planning the second year of our NEW type of conference for ALL Ancient Studies scholars with the following goals:

  • Present and support excellent scholarship by scholars around the world, who work outside academia, and researchers who have not followed the traditional tenure-track career path.
  • Foster discussion and action regarding public outreach and scholarly inclusiveness.
  • Hold a conference freely available to the public.
  • Continue building a joint community of scholars including both those whose occupations are inside and outside academia.
