Thirty-Fifth Medieval Workshop
Cartography in Antiquity and the Middle Ages: Fresh Perspectives, New Methods
The Committee for Medieval Studies of the University of British Columbia invites paper proposals for this conference to be held on October 28-29, 2005 on the UBC campus in Vancouver. The scope of the conference will match that of J. Brian Harley and David Woodward (eds.),
The History of Cartography, vol. 1. Eighteen years after the publication of that seminal work this conference will offer a unique forum to highlight, distill and reflect upon the remarkable progress made in so many areas since 1987, thereby honouring the memory of the joint editors, and in particular David Woodward, deceased August 25, 2004. Looking to the future, the conference is also specifically designed to foster closer interaction between scholars of antiquity and of the Middle Ages who engage with maps. Proposals are especially welcome which discuss recent discoveries, the value of fresh perspectives and methodologies, insights gained from the exploitation of new technology, relationships between ancient and medieval cartography, and significant current work in progress. Graduate students in Canadian institutions and elsewhere are welcome to submit proposals. Papers are not to exceed 20 minutes. All proposals, including an abstract of 500 words maximum, should be sent by e-mail to the organizers, Richard Talbert (University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill) <
talbert@email.unc.edu> and Richard W. Unger (UBC) <
richard.unger@ubc.ca>
to arrive no later than 20 March, 2005. Proposers whose papers are selected will be notified by 15 May, 2005. Some financial support may be available to assist participation in the conference.

University of Toronto and York University
Ancient Greek and Roman History
Joint Collaborative Ph.D. Program
In May 2004 the Ontario Council of Graduate Studies approved the proposal of the Graduate Program in Classics at the University of Toronto and the
Graduate Program in History at York University to create a Joint Collaborative Ph.D. Program in Ancient Greek and Roman History. The Collaborative Program, which operates at the doctoral level only, has already started to accept students and looks forward to welcoming more in the 2005-6 academic year.
Students apply for admission to the Ph.D. Program in History at York University or to the Ph.D. Program in Classics at the University of Toronto. Once admitted, they can then register in the Collaborative Program with the approval of the Program Committee.
Students take the two required Program seminars, 'Research Methods in Ancient History' and 'Work in Progress in Ancient History', and take all other courses to fulfil the degree requirements of either the Graduate Program in Classics at the University of Toronto or the Graduate Program in History at York. They may take courses at either university and their Ph.D. supervisory committee may be composed of faculty members from both universities.

T. D. Barnes, Late Antiquity
C. F. M. Bruun, Roman History
