Read a testimonial from a Reading Group participant

"It was a wonderful experience being part of this Reading Group [Immigration in the Hebrew Bible]. I definitely and lovingly support SASA's activities as well as the sincere effort and enthusiasm of all the team members to promote ancient studies as a field of personal development for many young (and not so young) people... I'm looking forward to many other opportunities of participation in SASA activities."
- Magdalena Lazarevska

SASA Ask an Expert Q&A

Have you ever wondered what you can do with an academic degree in ancient history, besides being a professor? Are you nervous to study ancient history because it seems you need to know every fact of the world, too many dates, names, and places?

Join us on September 26th for our first Live Ask an Expert Q&A to learn about different forms of research and career paths in ancient history, ask experts about details on topics that fascinate you, and start planning your own future within ancient history studies!

Featured Expert: September 2020
Tuhin Bhattacharjee, a current PhD Student at NYU

Topic: Something from No-Thing? Creation Myths in Ancient India and Greece

The Ancient World and Me

We want to hear from you! We are looking for personal reflections and stories about how you have interacted with, learned about, were exposed to, or think about the Ancient World in your own life. We would love for you to upload a photo too!
Here's a brief example from one of our SASA interns:
