UCL-Toronto Mediterranean Archaeology Conference 2025: Call for Papers

Nomads, Pastoralists, Migrants, Refugees: Investigating the Impact of Mobile Populations

As part of the continuing collaborative relationship between the UCL Institute of Archaeology and the University of Toronto's Mediterranean Archaeology Doctoral Cluster, a bilateral UCL-University of Toronto conference on the topic of Nomads, Pastoralists, Migrants, Refugees: Investigating the Impact of Mobile Populations is being organised. The event is primarily being organised for PhD students and early career researchers.

The conference seeks to examine the diverse impact and influence of mobile populations on the cultural, economic and political aspects of the ancient Mediterranean and Near Eastern societies from the archaeological, anthropological and historical perspectives. Mobile populations are to be defined broadly, from the nomadic and pastoralist members of society to migrants and refugees, be their movements induced by political, economic or other circumstances.

Call for papers

The conference will take place on 15 and 23 January 2025 in-person in Toronto and London, and virtually, connecting the two locations. Presentations are expected to be around 20 minutes long, with 10 minutes for Q&A.

Please submit a short (150 words maximum) abstract as well as your preferred date of presentation by 30 November 2024. If your subject area falls slightly outside proposed conference topic or if you have any other questions, please contact one of the organisers.
