Events for Junior ScholarsOpen to MA and PhD Students,

Recent Graduates, and Post-docs

Conference Networking for Humanists Monday, 28 August, 12:00-13:00, GRAD HQ Third Floor, UChicago Bookstore, 970 E. 58th St.

Academic conferences are great platforms for building your professional networks and discussing your research ideas and future projects. Sometimes, these events provoke uncertainty, however. How should you approach the scholar whose work you admire? What do you say to the presenter who shares your interests? How do you introduce yourself at a reception? Join PATHS and the organizers of the 10th International Congress of Hittitology for a workshop on academic conference networking best practices. You’ll gain a better sense of how to engage other scholars at conferences, and you’ll have an opportunity to practice sharing your introductory personal narrative with fellow junior scholars. Lunch will be provided.

RSVP at https://humconferencenetworking.eventbrite.com.

Finding Academic Jobs with an Area Studies PhD: A Conversation with Dennis Campbell (NELC, ’07) Thursday, 31 August, 12:45-13:45, GRAD HQ Third Floor, UChicago Bookstore, 970 E. 58th St.

How does a Ph.D. candidate who is trained in an interdisciplinary Ph.D. program land a job in a disciplinary department? Join PATHS and the organizers of the 10th International Congress of Hittitology for a conversation with Dennis Campbell, an alumnus of NELC (Hittitology, dissertation titled Mood and Modality in Hurrian) who now works as an Assistant Professor in the Department of History at San Francisco State University. Campbell will discuss his job search and provide advice for those seeking to make a similar transition. Lunch will be provided.

Special ExhibitsThe First 100 Years: Anatolian Studies at ChicagoIn conjunction with the 10th International Congress of Hittitology, to be hosted by the Oriental Institute from August 28 through September 1, 2017, the Chicago Hittite Dictionary Project is organizing a poster-exhibit covering the history of Hittite and Anatolian studies at the Oriental Institute; the history of the Chicago Hittite Dictionary; the dictionary today; and the Institute’s archaeological fieldwork in Anatolia, including the Anatolian Expedition survey and excavations at Alişar Höyük.

Chicago Hittite Dictionary For the duration of the conference there will be a special case on exhibit illustrating the development of a CHD entry from hand copy to final printed product. It will also bring together a few objects from Hittite material culture for which we know the Hittite word.

OriginsOrigins is part of a series of works by Audrius V. Plioplys, MD, which were originally displayed at the Cosmic Consciousness exhibit at Rockefeller Chapel in 2013. The current installation consists of two paintings, “Veil” and “Cassiopeia,” and will be on display in Breasted Hall for the duration of the conference. The artist will give a talk about the creation of the pieces in Breasted Hall on Wednesday, August 30, at 15:40.
