[Antiquitas] Immigration, Emigration and Exile: Registration open for the XXVI Finnish Symposium on Late Antiquity

[Ville Vuolanto (TAU)]

Immigration, Emigration and Exile: Encounters in Late Antiquity (ca. 150-700 CE)
The 26th multidisciplinary Finnish Symposium on Late Antiquity, 8.-9. November 2019.

Our theme of forced and voluntary mobility in Late Antiquity will be approached from a wide perspective. However, we seek especially to trace the encounters between individuals and peoples, both in terms of everyday interaction, and in terms of cultural discourses of inclusion, exclusion, coexistence and mutual recognition.

Also this year, the symposium will bring together scholars and postgraduate students with an interest in Late Antiquity from a variety of universities and disciplines (including, but not limited to classics, history, archaeology, legal history and Roman law, theology, religious studies, art history).
