Cambridge Late Antique Network Seminar (CLANS)
CLANS provides an interdisciplinary platform for classicists, historians, archaeologists, and theologians working on Late Antiquity. Seminars take place on a roughly fortnightly basis and are scheduled for Tuesdays at 5.15 pm. Due to the exceptional circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, some of these will take place digitally via Zoom. Termly links can be requested by emailing the convenors for the 2021/22 academic year: Domenico Praticò (dp546) and Melissa Jones (mlj39).
