56th Annual Eric P. Newman
Graduate Summer Seminar in Numismatics
June 7 through July 30, 2010
Study at one of the world's most important
numismatic research institutions
$4,000 stipend available
For over half a century, the American Numismatic Society has offered
select graduate
students and junior faculty the opportunity to learn the basics of
numismatic
scholarship while working hands-on with the collections. The rigorous
eight-week
course, taught by the Curators, guest lecturers, and a Visiting Scholar,
introduces
students with little or no numismatic background to the methods,
theories, and
history of the discipline. Located in New York City's SoHo district,
the ANS houses
one of the world's largest numismatic collections and a
comprehensive numismatic
library; Seminar students will in addition have access to the libraries
of Columbia
University and New York University.
This year's Visiting Scholar will be Dr. Bernhard Woytek, member of
the Numismatic
Commission of the Austrian Academy of Science and Lecturer in
Numismatics
at Vienna University. Dr. Woytek is well known for his research and
publications
on the coinages of the Roman Republic and Empire.
In addition to its traditional strength in Greek and Roman coinages, the
Seminar
this year will include lectures by three eminent Islamic numismatists:
Prof. Stefan
Heidemann, Visiting Professor at Bard Graduate Center; Prof. Jere
Bacharach, Professor
Emeritus at the University of Washington; and Dr. Michael Bates, Curator
Emeritus of Islamic Coinages at the ANS. Students with an interest in
the Islamic
world are particularly encouraged to apply.
Applications are due February 12, 2010. Stipends in the amount of $4,000
are available
on a competitive basis. For application forms and further information,
