Working Group on Independent Scholars Community Building
We believe all scholars who are interested in contributing to Ancient Studies scholarship should be a welcome part of our community of scholars. No matter who you are, what you look like, where you come from, and what you do to earn a living, you are a valued member of our scholarly community. Together we will create a truly inclusive, thriving Ancient Studies.
