What is Eos?
Eos is a scholarly society that seeks to promote the study of Africana receptions of ancient Greece and Rome. Eos’ activities revolve around two main goals:
To create a supportive, dedicated community for this area of scholarship
To foster collaborative research and pedagogy between Classics and other disciplines.
Our membership consists of students, scholars, teachers, and members of the public who are interested in receptions of ancient Greece and Rome by peoples from the African diaspora and the African continent, who subscribe to our listserv, and who participate in our activities.
Highlights
Call for Papers
For our inaugural workshop at the annual meeting of the Society for Classical Studies, we invite abstracts for papers that develop trans-historical and transnational models of Africana reception. Contributions will be pre-circulated and then discussed at the 2019 SCS meeting in San Diego.
