The Department of Historical Studies at the University of New Brunswick (Fredericton) is pleased to be hosting this year’s meeting of the Atlantic Classical Association (ACA) on Friday and Saturday, October 4th and 5th 2024. We are delighted to announce that there will be a public keynote address given by Dr. Noreen Humble of the University of Calgary on Friday evening.

The ACA is a small conference that offers the opportunity for students and scholars in Atlantic Canada and beyond to gather together and share their research in a welcoming and relaxed environment. This will be an in-person conference only. The organizers invite papers of 20 minutes on any topic concerning the ancient world. Please submit an abstract, or indicate your intention to attend, using this form (https://forms.gle/2UCHPgDMtkWK3RxX8), by September 1st.

We are pleased to be able to offer 2 prizes of $250 dollars for the best papers given by graduate students. In order to be considered for this prize students are required to submit their full paper before the conference. See form for further details.
