Borderlands, loosely defined, are frontier zones lying along given
boundaries, limits beyond which something�a discipline, an ethnic
group, a nation transforms into something else. The Ancient
Borderlands Research Group at the University of California at Santa
Barbara invites graduate scholars of any interested discipline to
submit abstracts of papers addressing the question of ancient
borderlands while taking advantage of the relevant theoretical models.
The conference will be held on March 22-23, 2008 at the beautiful
campus of UCSB, home to the first Ancient Borderlands research group. Limited travel funds are potentially available. Abstracts are due by December 1, 2007, and should be sent to Olivier Dufault at olivierdufault@umail.ucsb.edu. Papers presented at the conference might be selected for a future publication of the Borderlands Research Group. We hope that you will join us for what promises to be a stimulating symposium
