#CFP online seminar series: Strong Women of the Ancient Mediterranean World and their Reception - September-December 2026 - Organisers: Anastasia Bakogianni (Massey), Martina Treu (Milan) sponsored by EuGeStA Network, AWAWS, The Imagines Project - Due by Jan 6

This online series of meetings brings together scholars & practitioners from both hemispheres to discuss the stories of ancient historical & fictional women who inspire them & their work. We invite speakers to problematise the concept of what a 'strong' woman means to them, & how our ideas about the position & roles of women, gender & female agency have evolved over time. In turn this affects how we receive, interact with & adapt these ancient female figures & their stories. Each speaker will reflect on their chosen ancient woman/women or group, as a launchpad for a wider examination of the impact of ancient women in recent scholarship &/or in a variety of modern media (including but not limited to the stage, screen & the visual arts). Speakers can choose to focus on the ancient material but must engage with recent scholarly debates on questions of gender, &/or diversity. Practitioners are particularly welcome to present their creative receptions of these ancient female figures, partnering up with a scholar or by themselves with a scholar as a respondent to foster dialogue & the exchange of ideas. We welcome proposals from interested scholars, postgraduates & practitioners (a title & a short abstract of 200-300 words) by 6th of January. Collaborations between researchers & between scholars & practitioners are most welcome. Since our goal is to bring together people from both hemispheres, we aim to preserve a balance in terms of numbers between northern & southern speakers. We envisage a seminar series of between 10 & 12 speakers, with around 2 speakers, plus a chair/respondent per session. Dates & times to be decided after the selection of abstracts has been completed.

Since his retirement in 2022 he had unfortunately been in ill health, but he was well supported by friends and family, and when colleagues from the department visited in November he was in good spirits.
