Late Antiquity Made New brings together more than fifty internationally recognized scholars of Late Ancient and Early Christian Studies and their related disciplines.  The conference has two projects: documenting the emergence of “Late Antiquity” as a discipline within and beyond the Study of Religion during the past four decades, and exploring directions for contemporary and future research in the field.

With Keynotes By:

Patricia Cox Miller (Syracuse): “Caressing the Wolf's Head: Reading Animals in Early Christianity”

Dale Martin (Yale): “Armed and Not Dangerous: Jesus in Jerusalem”

Catherine Chin (UC-Davis): “Aristocratic and Apostolic Genealogies in the Late Fourth Century”
