An act of resistance and a conduit for change,
Eos is a scholarly society founded in 2017 by four (then-) junior Classicists who wanted to build upon the innovative work already being done in the field of Africana reception studies.
An Ancient Greek word for the dawn, eos (EE-os) symbolizes a new beginning. Daybreak captured what the co-founders thought this initiative can offer: a new way of engaging ancient Greek and Roman cultures, of according Africana receptions of those cultures the respect they deserve, and of building a thriving community of scholars marginalized for their racial identities, for their academic interests, or both.
As Eos Members,
We illuminate.
We read.
We write.
We collaborate.
We gather.
Oh, and we host conference panels, too.
