About AWRC
Our aim is to support members at all stages of their careers and to facilitate conversations between them. We celebrate the disciplinary diversity of the Cluster, which includes students and experts in ancient history, archaeology, ancient scripts and languages, art history, archaeological science, and ancient philosophy. We support our members by providing research grants and other prizes, and by organising numerous events throughout the year. We also sponsor a fully-funded graduate scholarship for a DPhil in an area of Ancient World Studies, and a visiting scholarship for established academics in the Ancient World.
The current director is Meron Piotrkowski, and the steering group is made up of Christoph Bachhuber, Peter Barber, Jim Benson, Martin Goodman, Courtney Nimura, Cressida Ryan, Rick Schulting, Yuhan Vevaina, and Rachel Wood
To join the cluster or for any other queries, please email the cluster administrator Christoph Bachhuber at ancient.world@wolfson.ox.ac.uk.
We are grateful to Lorne Thyssen-Bornemisza and the Augustus Foundation, and all those whose generosity has supported the AWRC since its establishment
