The American Numismatic Society will be holding its fifty-fourth Graduate Seminar in Numismatics at the Museum of the American Numismatic Society from June 4th to July 27th of 2007. The purpose of the seminar is to familiarize students with numismatic methodology and scholarship and to provide them with an understanding of the contributions made by numismatics to other fields of study. Students will also gain extensive practical experience working with coins and other objects and will have use of the Society's comprehensive library resources.
This year's visiting scholar is Dr. Bernhard Weisser, of the Münzkabinett, Staaliche Museen in Berlin. He is the author of numerous articles on ancient Greek and Roman history, and numismatics.
The seminar is an intensive program of study including lectures and seminars conducted by specialists in various fields, preparation and oral delivery of a research paper on a topic, and handling of the ANS coins relating to that topic. Curatorial staff and other experts from this country and abroad will participate in the seminar.
Applications are accepted from students of demonstrated competence who will have completed at least one year of graduate work in history, classical studies, economic history, or other related fields. Applications are also encouraged from junior faculty members with an advanced degree in one of these fields.
The Society will be accepting six seminar students. Stipends of $4,000 are available to qualified applicants who are citizens or permanent residents of the United States or Canada. The Society will also provide round-trip travel fare from each student's home institution.
