Towards a new economic history: women and Antiquity / Hacia una nueva economía histórica: mujeres y Antigüedad
Universidad Pablo de Olavide, Sevilla, 14 to 16 November 2023
Announcement and Call for papers:
We are very pleased to announce the celebration of the first conference of the international, cross-disciplinary network Engendering Ancient Economies (EAEN), which will take place from 14 to 16 November of 2023 in Sevilla. This conference will be possible thanks to an awarded grant of the Spanish Ministry of Equality. The Network and the Conference aim to bring women to light as key players in ancient economies, and to promote gendered and intersectional perspectives in the field of economic studies of pre-modern societies.
Despite the rising impact in recent decades of gender studies in fields like Classics, Ancient History, Near-Eastern Studies, Egyptology and Archaeology, economics remains an area largely dominated by male actors, ancient and modern. The objectives of this foundational conference and of the EAEN network are to promote the study of the economic role of women in antiquity and the work of female historians interested in ancient economies, to generate a constructive debate about traditional male perspectives in economic history, to denounce gender discriminatory practices, to propose inclusive and fairer practices in academia, to propose and promote new gender perspectives in studies of economic history and economic theory, and to support research students and early careers interested in gender and pre-modern economies. Our network and conference welcomes research students, early-career, and established researchers around the world.
Confirmed speakers include: Claire Taylor, Astrid van Oyen, Marguerite Ronin, Sofia Piacentin, Claire Holleran, Cristina Soraci, Saskia Roselaar, Iza Romanowska, Candance Rice, Miriam Groen-Vallinga, Marta García Morcillo, Emilia Mataix Ferrándiz, Cristina Rosillo-López, Mariagrazia Rizzi, Pablo Varona Rubio and Giulia Vettori. There will be two keynote lecturers: Manuela Martini and Laurence Fontaine.
