The field of Assyrian Studies is undergoing a transformative shift as scholars increasingly embrace interdisciplinary methodologies to explore the rich history, dynamic cultural heritage, and contemporary realities of the Assyrian people. This year’s symposium seeks to be a catalyst for this evolution, spotlighting groundbreaking research approaches that deepen our understanding of Assyrian identity and heritage. Drawing from the social sciences, humanities, natural sciences, the symposium will explore how these innovative methodologies are redefining the boundaries of Assyrian Studies.

 

This symposium will provide participants with an intellectually vibrant space to engage in critical dialogue with leading researchers, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and inspiring avenues for future research. Beyond academic inquiry, the symposium will also feature a cultural dimension by blending scholarly discourse with cultural appreciation, the event aims to create a holistic platform for advancing the field of Assyrian Studies.

​

We invite scholars from diverse disciplines to submit abstracts that align interdisciplinary methodologies. By fostering collaborative dialogue, we aim to push the boundaries of critical Assyrian Studies and contribute to a deeper and more just understanding of Assyrian history, culture, and identity. This is an opportunity to challenge conventional perspectives, explore new research avenues, and elevate the field of Assyrian Studies to a central position in academic discourse.
