ASOR Annual Meeting

For the first time in many years, I’ll be going to the ASOR annual meeting and not present a paper! It’ll also be my first time at a major in person conference since the pandemic put a stop to them. 

So, if you’re in Boston at the meetings this week, please do stop by and say “hi!” I’ll be eager to chat with authors who have volumes in the queue for the ASOR Annual (which I edit), for folks who have quirky or wonderful ideas for my press, or folks interested in Sun Ra or Cyprus! (I’m interested in seeing old friends, of course, and colleagues as well, but that goes without saying!).

There are two Cyprus panels:

Cyprus ICyprus II 

Unfortunately Cyprus II runs at the same time as a workshop on Yannis Hamilakis and Raphael Greenberg’s recent book Archaeology, Nation, and Race: Confronting the Past, Decolonizing the Future in Greece and Israel (2022). It looks pretty great and Nassos Papalexandrou is one of the co-chairs. He works with us at Polis. You can check out the panel here.

There’s also a CAARI social that evening if you’re into that kind of thing.

Unfortunately, I’m going to miss Rita Lucarelli’s paper on Sun Ra on Saturday morning! (Of course, this is a convenient time to direct your attention to yesterday’s Sun Ra related NEW BOOK DAY event!)

I’m looking forward to catching up with friends and colleagues and hearing some interesting papers. This might mean that blogging will take a bit of a hiatus for a while!
