For Scholars Studying Gender and/or Agency from Ancient Near Eastern and Late Antiquity Civilizations
The initiative, led by Vanessa Juloux (École Practique des Hautes Études, Paris), was presented during the last Mentoring Meeting of the Initiative on the Status of Women in ASOR (November 2015, Atlanta).
The aim of the blog is to have a virtual meeting place that is open to all scholars interested in gender and/or agency. We aim to have regular and diverse blog entries, covering among other subjects: events, new books, and other topics of interest.
Agnès Garcia-Ventura ("Sapienza", Università degli Studi di Roma) and Saana Svärd (University of Helsinki) collaborate with Vanessa Juloux to help promote the blog and solicit blog posts. We will be happy to welcome your proposals, feedback and content for the sections. Please do not hesitate to contact us:
The AWOL Index: The bibliographic data presented herein has been programmatically extracted from the content of AWOL - The Ancient World Online (ISSN 2156-2253) and formatted in accordance with a structured data model.
AWOL is a project of Charles E. Jones, Tombros Librarian for Classics and Humanities at the Pattee Library, Penn State University
AWOL began with a series of entries under the heading AWOL on the Ancient World Bloggers Group Blog. I moved it to its own space here beginning in 2009.
The primary focus of the project is notice and comment on open access material relating to the ancient world, but I will also include other kinds of networked information as it comes available.
The ancient world is conceived here as it is at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University, my academic home at the time AWOL was launched. That is, from the Pillars of Hercules to the Pacific, from the beginnings of human habitation to the late antique / early Islamic period.
AWOL is the successor to Abzu, a guide to networked open access data relevant to the study and public presentation of the Ancient Near East and the Ancient Mediterranean world, founded at the Oriental Institute, University of Chicago in 1994. Together they represent the longest sustained effort to map the development of open digital scholarship in any discipline.
