W.D.E. COULSON & TONI M. CROSS AEGEAN EXCHANGE PROGRAM
| Deadline: March 15, 2022 |
| W.D.E. Coulson and Toni M. Cross Aegean Exchange Program for Greek Ph.D. level graduate students and senior scholars in any field of the humanities and social sciences from prehistoric to modern times to conduct research in Turkey, under the auspices of the American Research Institute in Turkey (ARIT) in Ankara and/or Istanbul during the academic year. The purpose of these fellowships is to provide an opportunity for Greek scholars to meet with their Turkish colleagues, and to pursue research interests in the museum, archive, and library collections and at the sites and monuments of Turkey. Fellowships are funded by the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs through the Council of American Overseas Research Centers, which also provides funding for Turkish graduate students and senior scholars to study in Greece, under the auspices of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens. The ARIT-Ankara library holds approximately 13,000 volumes focused on archaeological studies, but also includes resources for scholars working on modern Turkish studies. The library at ARIT-Istanbul includes approximately 14,000 volumes and covers the Byzantine, Ottoman, and modern Turkish periods. Archives, libraries, sites, and museums in Turkey provide resources for research into many fields of study and geographical areas. Eligibility: Greek nationals, including staff of the Ministry of Culture and Sport, doctoral candidates, and faculty members of Greek institutions of higher education. Duration: From two weeks to two months. Terms: Stipend of $250 per week plus up to $500 for travel expenses. Four to eight awards are available. ARIT, located in Istanbul and Ankara, will provide logistical support and other assistance as required, but projects are not limited to those two cities. For further information about ARIT: https://aritweb.org/. A final report to ASCSA and ARIT is due at the end of the award period, and ASCSA and ARIT expect that copies of all publications that result from research conducted as a Fellow of ASCSA/ARIT be contributed to the relevant library of ASCSA/ARIT. Application: Submit “Associate Membership with Fellowship” application online. The application includes a curriculum vitae, statement of the project to be pursued during the period of grant (up to three pages, single-spaced in length), and two letters of reference from scholars in the field commenting on the value and feasibility of the project. |

AIMS Workshop on Analog Games
AIMS (Antiquity in Media Studies) Workshop on Analog Games, Saturday, January 15th from 9:30 am – 4:00 pm (CST)
From simple mnemonic language games to complex historical simulations, games have a long history in the ancient world classroom. Outside the classroom too, analog board games, role-playing games, and live action games are thriving, but these two worlds can be challenging to bring together. This one-day online event will show, through practical examples and discussion by teachers experienced in game-based pedagogy, how various kinds of analog games can be used in the ancient world classroom. Whether you are a game-curious teacher or you want to expand your existing use of games in the classroom, this event is for you. We’ll discuss analog games from the large scale (live-action role-playing games like Reacting to the Past and megagames) to the small (tabletop board games and role-playing games like Dungeons and Dragons) with demonstrations and practical examples of play and use.
Use this on-line registration portal [https://forms.gle/ZBzA1pvdLgkr9cxh8] to tell us who you are and to help us distribute player roles. The day before the workshop, you will receive the Zoom links, the workshop schedule, and other instructions. We look forward to exploring games with you!
