SASA Work-in-Progress Forum

SASA’s Work-in-Progress Forum is a project of SASA’s Working Group on Independent Scholar Community Building, which began in Fall 2021 as an outgrowth of the Roundtables from our first annual Virtual Conference. These monthly informal gatherings are for Ancient Studies Independent Scholars and other researchers and students to present their recent research for direct feedback from an audience of like-minded scholars and students, and for the audience to engage with current research.
