Select Publications

2019. “Expanding Our Professional Embrace: The American Philological Association/Society for Classical Studies 1970-2019.” TAPA 149.2 Supplement (Sesquicentennial Anniversary Issue). S-61-S-87.

Focused on the organization's history and leadership over the past half-century, this paper looks back to its first century in reflecting on the increasingly prominent role accorded classicists of previously marginalized and indeed excluded backgrounds—not only women, but also Jews, Catholics, gays, émigrés, and those from non-privileged backgrounds and non-elite institutions. It also analyzes as well as surveys how the Women's Classical Caucus participated in transforming the APA.

Eugesta, Journal of Gender Studies in Antiquity

The electronic journal Eugesta was created in 2011 by Jacqueline Fabre-Serris (Lille) and Judith Hallett (Maryland) in connection with the research network of the same name, EuGeStA (“European Network on Gender Studies in Antiquity”). This network, created by Jacqueline Fabre-Serris in 2009 and supported by the center Halma – UMR 8164 (CNRS, Univ. Lille, MC), brings together specialists in different areas of Antiquity (Middle East, Egypt, Greece and Rome) whose work integrates the perspectives developed in Gender Studies in different disciplines: archaeology, economics, law, literature, medicine, philosophy, history, art history, religion, reception of Antiquity… The institutional members of EuGeStA are the Universities of Basel (Lead: Henriette Harich), Bern (Lead: Thomas Späth), Exeter (Lead: Rebecca Langlands), Fribourg (Lead: Véronique Dasen), Lille (Lead: Jacqueline Fabre-Serris), Manchester (Lead: Alison Sharrock), Munich (Lead: Therese Führer), the Open University (Lead: James Robson), Paris 1 (Lead: Violaine Sebillotte-Cuchet), Toronto (Lead: Alison Keith), Turin (Lead: Federica Bessone), and UCLA (Lead: Giulia Sissa). Since its founding in 2009, the EuGeStA network has developed ties with the Women’s Classical Caucus of the Society for Classical Studies (previously named the American Philological Association) through the forging of affiliations with several individual American and Canadian female and male classicists as associate members (see eugesta.recherche.univ-lille3.fr). The journal Eugesta is the major project to result from the collaborative endeavors begun through these ties and pursued through panels labelled as representing EuGeStA in international meetings organized in Europe and North-America
