Date:

Location: 

Robinson Hall Lower Library, 35 Quincy Street
A symposium for recent and graduating seniors and Master's-level students, sponsored by the Max Planck-Harvard Research Center for the Archaeoscience of the Ancient Mediterranean (MHAAM). Participants will present cross-disciplinary research using modern scientific tools and knowledge to illuminate the history of humanity, and have the opportunity to meet students and faculty members including Johannes Krause (MPISHH), Michael McCormick (Harvard University, Department of History), David Reich (Harvard Medical School, Department of Genetics), and Dr. Philipp Stockhammer (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München). An interest in the Ancient Mediterranean is desirable but not indispensable. Students interested in applying for the Symposium should arrange to send a letter of application, along with an abstract of research to be presented, a CV, an academic transcript, and a letter of recommendation, by 27 September 2017 to sohpchair@fas.harvard.edu.
