In 2012 the University of Birmingham hosted the thirteenth annual Current Research in Egyptology conference. This year’s annual event (the fourteenth) was hosted by the University of Cambridge, after they placed a successful bid last year. Seven Birmingham Egyptology members visited the conference and a brief report of the week’s proceedings is provided here by Emily Millward and Carl Graves. CREXIV Report
It sounds like it was a very successful and interesting conference, and I wish I could have been there! The theme ‘Crossing Boundaries’ is certainly one all historians should consider, especially when it comes to interdisciplinary work in the field; varied approaches towards the evidence from the outset can only result in greater understanding.
The theme is also very reminiscent of the ‘Connections: Communication in Ancient Egypt’ project which is mentioned earlier on the home page: lots of boundaries were crossed there!
