SUMMARY:Medieval Texts Reading Group (Spring 2026)
DESCRIPTION:The UCLA Medieval Texts Reading Group welcomes undergraduate students\, graduate students\, staff\, and faculty interested in medieval literature. Once each term\, we get together to discuss a text in English translation from across the Global Middle Ages\, to think about what it tells us about its cultural and literary context. \nEach discussion will be led by an expert on the chosen text and its place in the wider medieval world. No expertise or preparation beyond a brief skim of the text is required – only enthusiasm! \nFor our Spring meeting this year\, we will read Cædmon’s Hymn and some related texts. Discussion will be led by Professor Erica Weaver (English) \nView the readings \nSponsored by the CMRS Center for Early Global Studies

SUMMARY:Works in Progress with Rebeca Martínez-Tibbles
DESCRIPTION:“Ilícita Amistad: Women’s Plural Relationships in Bigamy Cases of Colonial Mexico” \nGuest Speaker: Rebeca Martínez-Tibbles (History) \nThis paper examines ilícita amistad—illicit or informal romantic relationships—as a central feature of women’s lives in colonial Mexico\, particularly as revealed through bigamy cases prosecuted by the Holy Office of the Inquisition. Drawing on extensive archival research in Mexico City and regional tribunals\, the paper argues that women were not passive actors who moved neatly from one marriage to another. Instead\, many engaged in plural romantic and sexual relationships during periods of abandonment\, coercion\, or marital breakdown\, using ilícita amistad as a strategy of survival\, resistance\, and autonomy. \nThrough close readings of Inquisition trials involving women of Spanish\, mestiza\, Indigenous\, and African descent\, this study demonstrates that ilícita amistad functioned differently across racial and social hierarchies. While Spanish women were often afforded discretion or leniency despite engaging in multiple relationships\, women of African descent faced disproportionately harsh punishments\, revealing the racialized logic underpinning colonial sexual regulation. These cases complicate existing historiography on female honor by showing that inquisitors frequently prioritized violations of the sacrament of marriage over women’s prior sexual conduct\, allowing evidence of plural relationships to surface without formal prosecution. \n\nRebeca Martínez-Tibbles is a Ph.D. candidate in History at the University of California\, Los Angeles\, specializing in colonial Mexico\, gender and sexuality\, race\, religion\, and legal culture. Her dissertation\, Women and Bigamy in Colonial Mexico\, examines female marital transgression through cases prosecuted by the Inquisition from the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. She has conducted extensive archival research in Mexico City\, Seville\, and U.S. repositories with support from fellowships including the Fulbright-Hays DDRA and the CCWH/Berks Graduate Student Fellowship. Her work has been presented at national and international conferences\, including the American Historical Association and the Western Association of Women Historians\, and has appeared in public-facing and scholarly venues. At UCLA\, she teaches courses on women and gender in the Americas and has served as an editorial assistant for the Hispanic American Historical Review. \nThis event is organized by the UCLA Medieval & Early Modern Student Association and sponsored by the CMRS Center for Early Global Studies.

SUMMARY:Manuscripts in Arabic Script at UCLA: Where Did They Come From?
DESCRIPTION:UCLA holds one of the largest groupings of Arabic\, Persian\, and Turkish manuscripts in the Americas\, yet little is known about their provenance. This event will shed light on the sources of some of UCLA’s twenty collections of manuscripts in Arabic script. \nThis event will draw attention to manuscript provenance by hosting five talks from scholars working in this field\, most of whom will speak directly about the UCLA collections. The event will begin with an invitation-only research session in the morning\, during which a group of scholars from UCLA and beyond will spend a few hours together examining one of the less well-known collections in an effort to shed light on its background and provenance. \nRegister to attend in Young Research Library Special Collections \nThis event is co-sponsored by the UCLA CMRS Center for Early Global Studies\,  Center for Near Eastern Studies\, Islamic Studies Program\, the UCLA Library Special Collections\, and the Richard Hovannisian Endowed Chair in Modern Armenian History.

SUMMARY:2025 Summer Tangut Workshop
DESCRIPTION:CMRS Center for Early Global Studies is hosting a summer language workshop on Lesser Taught Research Languages. This year it is featuring Tangut. It will take place over five sessions and will be led by Dr. Nikita Kuzmin. \nDr. Kuzmin is an independent scholar specializing in Tangut and Silk Road studies. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 2023\, with a dissertation focused on pilgrimages to Dunhuang during the Tangut rule. Since 2021\, Nikita has collaborated with Charles University in Prague\, where he has developed and taught several Tangut reading courses. Currently\, he is involved in Mandarin Chinese education while continuing his research on the social and religious history of the Tangut. \nSynopsis of Workshop \nThe Tangut language\, an extinct Sino-Tibetan language\, was once spoken in the Western Xia kingdom (1038-1227). The discovery of Tangut and Chinese texts in Khara-khoto\, Inner Mongolia\, led to the development of the field of Tangut studies. However\, due to the complexity of the Tangut script\, research on the Western Xia remains relatively underrepresented in contemporary East Asian studies.This 12-hour Tangut reading workshop is designed to introduce participants to the foundational skills needed for reading Tangut\, equipping them to apply these techniques in their own research. In the first two sessions\, students will be introduced to the field of Tangut studies and learn the basics of the Tangut script and grammar. Beginning in the third session\, students will engage in reading both religious and secular Tangut texts under the guidance of the instructor. By the end of the course\, students will be able to independently read and translate simple Tangut texts with the aid of reference materials and online resources.The course combines practical translation exercises with insights into Tangut history and culture. No prior knowledge is required\, though a solid understanding of Classical Chinese and Tibetan will be advantageous. \n\nSign-up is free and open to the public\nThe workshop size will be capped if there is overwhelming interest that exceeds capacity. In such cases\, priority will be given to UCLA affiliates (faculty\, graduate students\, and students)\, CMRS-CEGS associates and affiliates\, as well as graduate students and faculty in the field\, in that order of priority.\nWe expect attendees to attend the majority (at least 3/5) of the sessions\n\nTime: 10 AM – 12:00 Noon PST Time (Los Angeles Time)\nSession 1: Monday\, July 21\, 2025\nSession 2: Wednesday\, July 23\, 2025\nSession 3: Friday\, July 25\, 2025\nSession 4: Monday\, July 28\, 2025\nSession 5: Wednesday\, July 30\, 2025\nRegister to attend \nFor questions\, please contact Prof. Sixiang Wang (Asian Languages & Cultures\, UCLA); six@ucla.edu \n

SUMMARY:"Status: Developing a Category of Analysis for the Early Global World"\, Conference by Sixiang Wang & Choon Hwee Koh
DESCRIPTION:This workshop invites participants to develop status as a category of analysis for the pre- and early modern world by investigating categories of social practice that were current in the past. Interested participants should be prepared to share a specific\, concrete case study from their area of research between the 3rd and 19th centuries (roughly 200 C.E. – 1800 C.E.) that sheds light on how societies ordered individuals and communities in different contexts. Examples include\, but are not limited to\, knowledge and inscriptional practices\, ceremonial or ritual protocols\, salary lists\, and status categories in premodern diplomacy\, bureaucracy\, or law. Works that connect the cultural\, social\, diplomatic\, economic\, and political are welcome and we especially encourage those working on regions outside of western Europe and the US to participate. \n\n\nWhat are the stakes of understanding status in the early modern world? We argue that understanding status is key to understanding how pre- and early modern societies organized collective interdependence and coexistence. In turn\, understanding premodern social orders may provide a generative foil to understanding the inequalities and injustices in our world today–all the while historicizing both concepts and bearing in mind that our expectations of what constitutes inequality and what constitutes an injustice did not always hold in the past. This project is the chronological converse of attempts to investigate the “birth of the modern world\,” the “great” and “long” divergences\, the “worldmaking” projects of internationalisms and anticolonial nationalisms\, the “carbon democracies” and the origins and histories of capitalism. (Pomeranz 2000; Bayly 2004; Kuran 2010; Sewell 2010; Mitchell 2011; Hilt 2017; Getachew 2019 etc.) We turn our analytical gaze backward instead\, in the opposite chronological direction. We believe our findings can be brought to bear on these rich historiographies of the nineteenth\, twentieth\, and twenty-first centuries\, which have inspired our growth as scholars but also left us wondering about the older world these centuries had left behind. \nThe symposium will begin on Friday\, May 30th\, and conclude on Saturday\, May 31st \nDay 1: May 30th\, 3:00–6:00 PM\nDay 2: May 31st\, 9:30–5:30 PM \n\nStatus: Developing a Category of Analysis for the Early Global World \n \nRegister to attend in Royce 306

SUMMARY:Medieval Texts Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:For our Spring 2025 meeting\, we will meet on May 16\,  3:00 – 5:00 PM\, in Kaplan 193\, and we will read the short Middle English poem Wynnere and Wastoure. This peculiar mid-14th-century alliterative poem (in Middle English\, but don’t be discouraged! do your best!) sets two allegorical figures\, Winner and Waster\, against each other in a debate about the proper use of things. They offer competing understandings of what it means to waste in the aftermath of the Black Plague. Join us for a discussion about over-using\, under-using\, not using\, prematurely using\, belatedly using\, and strange medieval food stuffs led by Prof. Matthew Fisher (English). \nHandouts of each reading will be available during the group meeting\, but are also linked HERE. \nThe UCLA Medieval Texts Reading Group welcomes undergraduate\, graduate\, staff\, and faculty interested in medieval literature. On the third Friday of each term\, we meet to discuss a text in English translation from across the Global Middle Ages and consider what it tells us about its cultural and literary context. Each discussion will be led by an expert on the chosen text and its place in the wider medieval world. \nNo preparation is necessary (other than a brief skim of the text) and no expertise or medieval knowledge is required – only enthusiasm!

SUMMARY:Literary Journeys from Metaphor to Plot: Travel\, Mind\, and Experience
DESCRIPTION:The theme of this conference explores travel as both an idea and a specific form of human experience\, examined through various representations ranging from literature to visual arts to philosophy. The aim is to investigate how travelers’ minds are altered by their experiences along their respective paths. The conference is not focused on travel writing per se\, which has its own established venues\, but rather on the relationships\, discoveries\, escapes\, and new awarenesses that arise through travel—the cognitive and emotional dimensions of displacement in both familiar and unfamiliar places. Investigations also include treatises discussing travel as a prescribed action or manuals on the arts of travel. The range of possibilities is vast\, from Petrarch’s ascent of Mont Ventoux to Jack Wilton’s flight from Sixteenth-century Rome. Ultimately\, the goal is to uncover new understandings of travel and the mind\, even in unexpected contexts. \nRegister to attend in Royce 314 \nCosponsored by UCLA CMRS-CEGS

SUMMARY:New Book Salon\, "Dante\, Moses and the Book of Islam. Visualizing the Qur’an from Byzantium to Filippino Lippi’s Adoration of the Golden Calf"
DESCRIPTION:What does a flying bull with a half moon on its belly in Filippino Lippi’s 1502 painting\, the Adoration of the Golden Calf\, have in common with Muhammad\, as a character of Dante’s Comedy? This is the question that Roberta Morosini tries to answer by following the journey of a legend traveling in the Oriental Mediterranean. She argues that what Lippi’s painting and Dante’s Muhammad have in common is a legend of a celestial delivery of the “bull law\,” the Qur’an and Moses’s Tablets of the Law. Just as Moses received the Tablets of the Law from God on Mount Sinai\, the Qur’an\, written according to Thomas Aquinas by mixing fables and a rippled Bible\, is carried by the bull on its horns. Taking us from Medieval Christian Byzantium to the depictions of Muhammad and Averroës in the iconographic tradition\, to the Rome of Oliviero Carafa in the events following the Fall of Constantinople in 1453 through Dante’s Comedy\, the real protagonists of Dante\, Moses and the Book of Islam\, a story narrated through texts and images\, are the Book and the Mediterranean as spaces of transmission of knowledge. Morosini provides a groundbreaking reading of Lippi’s Adoration of the Golden Calf as an ancient scene of anti-Islam propaganda while shedding new light on Dante’s construction of the cultural other\, on his spaces of otherness\, and on the importance the poet gives to books that bring unity and give form to what lacks it\, like his book\, the Comedy. \n \nRoberta Morosini (UCLA)\nMassimo Ciavolella (UCLA)\nMarino Forlino (Scripps College)\nAkash Kumar (UC Berkeley)\nM.

SUMMARY:"Lost in Transfer? Misunderstanding\, Miscommunication\, and the Production of Knowledge in the Late Medieval and Early Modern Mediterranean"
DESCRIPTION:Organizers: Stefania Tutino (UCLA)\, Andrea Aldo Robiglio (KU Leuven)\, and Eva Del Soldato (UPenn) \nThe question of how knowledge transfers has become central for understanding the culture of the premodern world in a global perspective. This workshop is interested in exploring the question of what happens when transfer fails: what happens when knowledge is not “translated” properly? What kind of knowledge is produced when the chain of transmission breaks down or malfunctions? We think that miscommunication is as important as communication\, and we propose to explore this theme both by examining specific case studies of miscommunication and by investigating what they tell us about the structure and modes by which knowledge is produced\, which in turn allows us to get to the question of the very category of “transfer” from a philosophical and theoretical perspective. \nRegister to attend in Royce 314 \nPresenter Abstracts \nConference Schedule: \n\n\n\n9:30\nCoffee\, fresh fruit\, pastries\n\n\n10:00\nWelcoming Remarks (Zrinka Stahuljak\, Director CMRS-CEGS) \n\n\n10:15\nPaper 1: Lost in Translation: Early Modern Jesuits and the Creed (Emanuele Colombo\, Boston College)\n\n\n10:45\nPaper 2: Mistranslating Indigenous America in the ‘Age of Reason’: Epistemological Hybridity and Colonial Violence (Diego Pirillo\, University of California\, Berkeley)\n\n\n11:15\nPaper 3: Oikonomia Understood and Misunderstood: The Latin and English Reception of Byzantine Chemical Terminology (Alexandre M.

SUMMARY:Lecture by Panagiotis Agapitos\, "Byzantine Crime Novels in the Twenty-first Century: From History to Fiction"
DESCRIPTION:This lecture tackles the question of “authenticity” when writing crime novels set in the remote past. Agapitos’ three novels (published between 2003 and 2009 in Greece)\, which are set in the first half of ninth-century Byzantium during the rule of the last iconoclast emperor\, Theophilos (r. 829–842)\, form the basis of a lively discussion about the challenges of producing a satisfactory narrative. The fairly clear generic conventions of a traditional British-style mystery are not applicable to a medieval culture such as Byzantium\, starting with the basic issue of the absence of detection and the relevant detective. Contemporary fans of crime fiction have broad expectations about what a detective novel should be\, but they also want a feeling of “real” history in the narrative. In his novels\, the speaker tackles this problem by employing various techniques derived from Byzantine rhetoric and narrative\, while\, at the same time using archaeological\, historical and textual studies to offer a medieval yet contemporary crime story that feels medieval but is\, in fact\, postmodern. \nPanagiotis Agapitos is the Gutenberg Distinguished Research Fellow in Byzantine Literature at the University of Mainz. Previously\, he taught for 25 years at the University of Cyprus as Professor of Byzantine Literature and Culture in the Depart – ment of Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies. He studied at the University of Munich and received his Ph.D. from Harvard University. In his free time\, he writes “mystery stories” set in ninth-century Byzantium. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the UCLA Department of Classics\, the UCLA CMRS Center for Early Global Studies\, and the UCLA Pourdavoud Institute for the Study of the Iranian World \nWebsite link: https://hellenic.ucla.edu/event/panagiotis-agapitos/ \nRegister to attend in Royce 314 \nEvent is free but RSVPs are requested \nReception to follow

DESCRIPTION:Guest Speaker: Hannah Barker (Arizona State University) \nIn 1455\, the Venetian patrician Giosafat Barbaro encountered an old friend in surprising circumstances. As a young merchant in the Black Sea port of Tana\, Barbaro had met and befriended a local Tatar notable named Chebechzi. At the end of his time in Tana\, Barbaro returned home expecting never to see Chebechzi again. He certainly did not expect to find him enslaved in a Venetian wine shop ten years later. At the moment\, Barbaro acted immediately to assert Chebechzi’s freedom and help him return home. Later in life\, Barbaro also wrote a memoir in which he reflected on this incident and the meaning of his friendship with Chebechzi and other Tatars. \nBarker’s talk will situate Barbaro’s reflections in the broader contexts of slavery and freedom\, friendship and reciprocity\, and the complex web of medieval Venetian-Tatar power relations. \nHannah Barker is an associate professor of history at Arizona State University. Her research centers on connections between the Mediterranean and the Black Sea in the late medieval period\, especially the trade in slaves which flourished during the thirteenth through fifteenth centuries. \n  \n\n\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by CNES and the Islamic Studies Program\n\n\n\nRegister to attend in Dodd Hall 275

SUMMARY:Lecture by Etienne Anheim\, “The Role of the Renaissance in the Transformation of the Western Political Imaginary: Petrarch’s Africa and Death for the ‘Fatherland’”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The ideal of “death for the fatherland” (Pro patria mori) may seem to be an invariable reality of human society\, from Sparta and Athens to today’s wars. In fact\, it is a political imaginary whose periodization can be traced. Ernst Kantorowicz\, in a famous article published in 1951\, proposed an analysis of this problem. In this lecture\, I will propose a new interpretation\, both historical and historiographical\, based on Francesco Petrarca’s (1304-1374) epic poem Africa. In particular\, I will highlight the role of the Renaissance in the construction of a new imaginary of war in the West\, quite different from the ancient and medieval tradition\, which has served as the foundation for the national and colonial wars of the contemporary era. \nEtienne Anheim‘s research is oriented towards the economic\, social\, and material history of painting as well as the history of written practices between the 13th and the 15th century\, from scholars like Petrarch to library inventories or accounting entries\, at the same time\, addressing questions of historiography and epistemology of history. He also collaborates on the editorial boards of the Revue de Synthese\, Médiévales\, and Annales. \nThis lecture is part of the UCLA Program in Experimental Critical Theory (ECT) and the ECT Spring 2024 seminar on “Ternary Positionality: Relationality\, Decoloniality\, and Interpretation”\, taught by Zrinka Stahuljak (Comparative Literature/ELTS). \n\n\n\nThe Spring 2024 ECT Seminar is generously sponsored by the Deans of Humanities and Social Sciences\, the Department of Comparative Literature and the University of California Humanities Research Institute (UCHRI). \nThis lecture is co-sponsored by the CMRS Center for Early Global Studies.\n\n\n\nRegister to attend in Royce 236 \nRegister to attend via ZOOM

SUMMARY:Lecture by Irene Papadaki\, “Love’s Labour and the Angelic Beloved: Voices from Cypriot Renaissance Poetry”
DESCRIPTION:Description of Lecture: The reception of Italian lyrical poetry in Cyprus during the time of Venetian rule (1489-1571) yielded rich fruits. The precious collection of Cypriot love poems\, preserved in a unique manuscript at the Marciana Library in Venice\, is a mature expression of Renaissance reflections and artistic sensitivity. Simultaneously\, it reveals a convergence of the island’s intellectual milieu with the vibrant life of the Italian peninsula. Themes such as the superiority of the beloved and her parallelism with the sun\, the lover’s attraction to the sublime\, his obsession with her idealized image\, communication through the gaze\, conflicting feelings\, melancholy\, and the tendency for isolation\, the experience of a endless death\, the loss of self\, or the exchange of souls if love is reciprocal—all reflect not only in poetry but also in the philosophy of the Italian Renaissance. The identity of the lyricist or lyricists who composed this high-quality poetry remains a mystery to this day\, despite scholars’ interest since the late 19th century in the authorship of the collection. The recent discovery of a musical score of one of the Cypriot love poems and its Italian prototype\, has opened new research horizons. The score is the work of the Calabrian composer Giandomenico Martoretta\, who visited Cyprus in the mid-16th century and dedicated his works to members of noble families on the island. This event attests to the existence of a circle with literary and artistic interests\, within which we could place\, if not the composition itself\, at least an aspect of the reception of Cypriot Renaissance love poems. \nLecture by Irene Papadaki University of Cyprus on the occasion of National Poetry Month with exclusive poetry readings by singer-songwriter\, Alkinoos Ioannidis. \nOpening remarks by Her Excellency\, Ekaterini Nassika\, Ambassador of Greece to the United States & His Excellency\, Evangelos Savva\, Ambassador of the Republic of Cyprus to the United States \nIrene Papadaki studied Greek Philology at the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Crete. She was a fellow researcher at the Hellenic Institute of Byzantine and Post-Byzantine Studies in Venice. In 2005 she submitted her doctoral dissertation at the Department of Philology at the University of Crete. She has taught courses in Modern Greek Literature at the University of Crete and at the Department of Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies at the University of Cyprus\, where she has been working since 2014. She has also taught at the Hellenic Open University. She participated in various research projects of the Hellenic Institute in Venice\, the Piraeus Bank Group Cultural Foundation\, the Sylvia Ioannou Foundation\, the A.G. Leventis Foundation and the University of Cyprus. \nThis event is held under the auspices of the Deputy Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Cyprus\, the Embassy of Greece in the USA\, the Embassy of the Republic of Cyprus to the USA\, the Consulate General of Greece in Los Angeles\, and the Honorary Consul General of Cyprus in Los Angeles. It is organized by the UCLA Stavros Niarchos Foundation Center for the Study of Hellenic Culture and it is cosponsored the CMRS Center for Early Global Studies\, the UCLA Department of European Languages and Transcultural Studies\, and Thesaurus Linguae Graecae®. This program is made possible thanks to the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF). \nRegister to attend via ZOOM

SUMMARY:The Mediterranean Seminar Winter Workshop 2024\, Intermediaries\, Middle Grounds\, Middle Sea
DESCRIPTION:As the theater of engagement and integration of communities originating on the shores or from the hinterlands of Africa\, Asia\, and Europe\, the Mediterranean region served as a dynamic center of interaction and exchange from Antiquity through early modernity. Even as it began to lose political and economic centrality\, it has remained a zone of engagement of diverse peoples and cultures into the Modern era. This engagement is both the product and the catalyst of continuous dialectical processes of translation\, transculturation\, colonization\, and syncretism across the gamut of human experience and expression: in art\, literature\, language\, music\, religion\, media\, material culture\, and folk practices\, as well as in social\, economic\, political\, and institutional dynamics. \nThe Winter 2024 Mediterranean Seminar Workshop focuses on the agents (the “go-betweens”) and the currents (the “in-betweens”) of such dialectics. Typically invisible or\, at best\, marginalized in traditional historiographies and disciplines\, intermediaries and middle grounds (synthetic texts\, translations\, objects\, institutions and strategies\, and the individuals and communities who were their agents and products) are crucial to the understanding of the history and culture of the Mediterranean\, and of the historical processes which gave rise to many aspects of the modern world. \nKeynote presentations:\nRustam Shukurov (University of St Andrews)\, Friday\nClaire Gilbert (Saint Louis University)\, Saturday \nWorkshop Program  \n\n\n\nDay 1 – Friday 9\, February 2024\n\n\n9:15 – 10:10\nCoffee and Registration\n\n\n10:10—10:30\nOpening Remarks\nBrian A.

SUMMARY:(Re)envisioning Ancient Worlds
DESCRIPTION:A Workshop Hosted by Global Antiquity for Colleagues in California\nDecember 5–6\, 2023 | Royce Hall 306 \nGlobal Antiquity is thrilled to announce its inaugural workshop titled “(Re)envisioning Ancient Worlds.” This event\, held at UCLA in Royce 306 over two days (December 5 and 6\, 2023)\, will include invited speakers from across the University of California and the greater Los Angeles area whose research employs comparative methodologies to work beyond and in between the boundaries of existing fields. The workshop provides a forum in which to explore equitable comparisons of cultures\, the equivalencies of past human experiences\, and a common humanism rooted in ancient worlds. The resulting discourse may then encourage reflection on the role these worlds still play in shaping our contemporary identities and how this humanism may benefit the present. \nThe workshop will feature speakers and topics covering a diverse array of ancient worlds\, from West Asia\, North Africa\, and the Mediterranean to East Asia and the Americas. Themes explored over these two days include: the interconnectivity of ancient states and communities; diversity within established areas of inquiry; reception; pedagogy; and working across disciplines. \nEvent Registration \n(Re)envisioning Ancient Worlds is generously co-sponsored by the following departments\, centers\, and programs at UCLA: Asian Languages and Cultures\, Art History\, Classics\, the CMRS-Center for Early Global Studies\, the Cotsen Institute of Archaeology\, the Program in Indo-European Studies\, Near Eastern Languages and Cultures\, the Pourdavoud Center for the Study of the Iranian World\, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Center for the Study of Hellenic Culture\, and the UCLA/Getty Program in the Conservation of Cultural Heritage.
