All About The Ancient WorldMeet the volunteers behind the All About the Ancient World Team: Emily Prosch, Kristine Mallinson, Miranda Lovett, and Sierra Schiano! In this video, we discuss things like why we created AATAW, why it’s an online format, why we value ECRs, and our own love for the ancient world.

We’re delighted to be presenting at the Ancient MakerSpaces Workshop the morning of Saturday, January 7th, 2023 in New Orleans at the joint Annual Meeting for the Archaeological Institute of America and Society for Classical Studies. If you’re attending the conference (whether in-person or virtually) come by and say hello. We can’t wait to present AATAW as an ongoing project, and learn more about other digital humanities projects.
AATAW is proud to announce that we have been selected as one of the Ancient Worlds, Modern Communities grant recipients for 2022!
As part of the Society for Classical Studies, this initiative supports projects which create pathways for knowledge exchange about the ancient world beyond the classroom to engage broader publics.
We’ll be using this funding to cover some of our start-up costs, such as commissioning Jenni Perdzock for our amazing logo, and to advertise AATAW to potential new viewers and lecturers! Check out more of Jenni’s work here.
If you’re interested in creating a video lecture with AATAW, check out our Call for Papers! We’ll be reviewing abstracts due September 1st, 2022!

Nervous about recording a video lecture? We can show you how!
In this video, we cover the basics of how to record with PowerPoint, Zoom, Panopto, and OBS Studio. You’ll also learn how to record in the style of “traditional online lectures” and “YouTube video essays.” This video is great for Early Career Researchers presenting with AATAW, teachers leading online classes or delivering remote instruction, scholars presenting at virtual or hybrid academic conferences, and any beginner who wants to learn how to record a basic video lecture!

Welcome to our newest team member, Miranda Lovett!
Miranda is the current Graduate Intern for the Public Programs Department at the Getty Villa Museum. She is interested in Greek art and archaeology, particularly in the Bronze Age and Archaic period, and exploring how these subjects intersect with the experiences of modern people. She has participated in two Greek archaeological excavations: the Despotiko excavation in the Cycladic Islands and the Mt. Lykaion Excavation and Survey Project in the Peloponnese. Miranda wants to pursue a museum career where she can join her love for Classical antiquity and her passion for making the ancient world accessible to diverse audiences.
Miranda became interested in the ancient world in high school where she was introduced to Greek mythology. This led her to take ancient Greek language courses throughout her undergraduate education. Upon taking Greek and Roman art history courses to fulfill the Classics major, she realized she had found her passion and pursued her Master’s in Classical Archaeology.
