The Department of History of the University of the Antilles and Guyana
organises a conference at its Martinique campus. The conference will
convene 7 to 9 April 2009, with the deadline for the submission of
abstracts on 24 November 2008.
The conference will run under the title:
IDENTITY AND IDENTIFICATION IN ANTIQUITY
Submissions should treat the period from early Greece to late
antiquity (including early barbarian kingdoms). The conference welcomes
contributions by historians, but also specialists in archaeology,
literature, philosophy and other connected disciplines, as long as
contributions fit the overall conference theme. Contributions by
modern scholars on the use of "classical identities" in modern history
are also encouraged. We hope to convene a mixed conference of
established academics and graduate students. Please see the attached
Call for Papers for details on suggested themes.
For detailed information on conference location, fees, accommodation
etc. please see the conference website (up, but currently still in
beta status):

We are looking forward to welcoming you in Martinique next year.
