Cultures and Religions of the Ancient Mediterranean (CRAM) Seminar

The Brown University seminar on Cultures and Religions of the Ancient Mediterranean (CRAM) serves as a gathering to promote high-level, interdisciplinary dialogue among faculty and graduate students who deal with religion and culture in the ancient Mediterranean basin and west Asia in the broadest terms.

CRAM meets monthly during the academic year. Each meeting lasts about an hour, and typically is centered on a pre-circulated paper by one of our participants.  We are especially interested in work in progress; CRAM is a great context for working on new ideas and thinking through new problems.

CRAM is administered by the Program in Early Cultures. For details or questions, please contact Amy Russell, Director of the Program in Early Cultures, or Lauren Arsenault,  Administrative Coordinator for the Program in Early Cultures.
