| Welcome
to the home page for the new Oxford Centre for Phoenician and
Punic Studies
(OC2PS = Octopus) |
| |
| The
centre, founded in 2012, is intended to provide a focal point for
those scholars in the UK with an interest in any aspect of the Phoenician
and Punic Mediterranean. It has its origins in an occasional meeting
for post-graduate students working on the Phoenician and Punic world
instituted by Peter
van Dommelen (formerly of Glasgow University, now at Brown),
Jo
Quinn and Jonathan
Prag (Faculty of Classics, Oxford). That group met on several
occasions in Oxford and Glasgow over the previous five years (2009
programme). Our aim is to transform that occasional meeting
into something more regular, with an annual post-graduate meeting
in Oxford, an annual public lecture, an associated mailing list
for those with Phoenicio-Punic interests, and a website which will
act as a virtual meeting point for those in the UK interested in
Phoenicio-Punic studies. |
| |
| The centre
is directed by Jo
Quinn and Jonathan
Prag, either of whom may be contacted directly if you have any
queries. |
| |
The first
meeting for those interested in the
Phoenicio-Punic world to be hosted by the new Centre will take
place in Merton College, Oxford on 24 April 2013. |
The Inaugural
lecture of the new Centre will take
place at 5pm, 24 April 2013, at Merton College:

fenicia": revisiting a manifesto fifty years later
