ARACHNE
Nordic network for gender studies and women’s history in Antiquity
1997          15 YEARS           2012





ARACHNE was founded in 1997. Since then five conferences have been  
organised under its auspices. The organisers wish to mark the occasion  
of ARACHNE’s fifteenth anniversary in 2012 with a conference which  
looks both backwards and forwards. We invite papers that investigate  
the position of women and the significance of gender in the ancient  
world from different perspectives as well as those that focus on  
research history. Papers that have a theoretical and methodological  
focus are as welcome as those that deal with specific empirical  
evidence.



Papers in relation to the following topics are particularly welcome:

•  Gender studies & Antiquity in the Nordic countries
•  The life course of men and women
•  Women, gender, and archaeology
•	Religion and mythology
•	Literacy
•	Funerary practices
•	Urban and rural communities in the Graeco-Roman world
•	Gender & violence
•	Body language and dress codes
	What were the major research trends in the past fifteen years
•	Future challenges in the study of gender and women’s history


The conference starts on Wednesday 24 October at 4pm and it will take  
place at the Department of Historical Studies, University of  
Gothenburg. The language of the conference will be English. In  
accordance with the policy of ARACHNE contributions from doctoral  
students are as welcome as those from established scholars.

Abstracts
The deadline for abstracts is 15 June. Abstracts (maximum 250 words)  
should be submitted to arachne at class.gu.se. Notification of acceptance  
will be given by the beginning of July.


Conference fee
The conference fee is 40 euros for speakers, 20 euros for  
students/doctoral students, 50 euros for non-speakers. The fee will  
include conference package, a reception and coffee breaks. ARACHNE
