Publication: Erasure in Late Antiquity 19 juli 2024
This volume, edited by Kay Boers, Becca Grose (University of St Andrews), Rebecca Usherwood (Trinity College Dublin) and Guy Walker (Trinity College Dublin), brings together eight essays by eminent scholars and early career researchers, reflecting on the phenomenon of erasure in Late Antiquity (c. 150 - 750 CE) and the various theoretical frameworks that can be used in studying this phenomenon. From a broad theoretical, chronological, and thematic focus, the contributions in this volume reflect on the processes of erasure and the strategies, actors and authorities behind them. They seek to understand erasure as a flexible and diverse phenomenon, visible in different late antique media and material cultures.

21st annual CMEMS conference: Borders and Boundaries: Separating Identities, Ideas, and Space (Groningen, 6-7 June) 28 mei 2024
Students of the Research Master Classical, Medieval and Early Modern Studies (CMEMS) of the University of Groningen kindly invite you to the annual CMEMS conference. This year we will explore the processes that structure physical and symbolic borders and boundaries in different contexts and histories. In the last decades of the twentieth century, there has been a change in how borders and boundaries are approached: instead of static and objective, they are increasingly understood as changing, flexible structures that are products of the relations between people and things. ReMA students can obtain 1 ECTS by attending.
