UPCOMING WEBINARS
The Assyrian Studies Association's webinars focus on promoting the Assyrian heritage and culture by supporting research, teaching, and intellectual collaboration among scholars in history, archaeology, cultural heritage, religion, language, and literary studies, social sciences, arts and architecture, law, among others.
We welcome scholars worldwide to build connections to highlight work on Assyrians in these fields and beyond, bringing them into concert with each other to illustrate a vibrant, robust, and authentic experience of Assyro-Mesopotamian heritage. These webinars provide opportunities for participants to engage with scholars by joining in the conversation. Kindly note that registration is required.
