Ancient Near East


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: This year’s ancient Near Eastern unit sessions will focus on the legacy of orientalism in ancient Near Eastern Studies. The goal of these sessions is to view the history of ancient Near Eastern Studies through a critical eye, interrogating how motivations of empire and capitalism have formed Western interpretations of the ancient Near East. We invite papers that adopt an interdisciplinary approach and which engage with broader discussions regarding the legacy of European-centered scholarship in the humanities. We encourage underrepresented scholars in the field to apply, in particular (but not limited to) those from regions less represented in ANE studies. There will be invited panels, as well as sessions developed from this open call for papers.
