*10/23/2024 – The Cultural Heritage Committee is no longer accepting applications. Thank you for your interest.

ASOR’s Cultural Heritage Committee is placing a call for consideration for membership on the Committee for the class of 2027 with a number of open slots beginning January 2025. You can read about the Committee’s charge and purpose here.

The Committee has actively worked to energize ASOR’s membership to respond to renewal requests of Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) under the US Cultural Property Implementation Act for areas central to ASOR’s mission; hosted an FOA webinar “A World at War: Protecting Cultural Heritage in Times of Conflict“; organized a workshop, “Giving it Back: Repatriation and the Ownership of Antiquity”, at the 2023 Annual Meeting; and will be hosting another workshop, “Repatriation in the Global Context”, at the upcoming 2024 Annual Meeting.

Committee members serve a three-year renewable term and are expected to attend monthly committee meetings, conducted via Zoom. All committee members should be members of ASOR.

Please email a brief CV and explain why you are interested in being a part of this committee and what insights you would bring to the committee on cultural heritage issues to the Chair of the committee, Jane DeRose Evans: jevans@temple.edu. We are especially interested in applications from 17³Ô¹Ïmembers who are based outside of North America, as well as from Early Career Scholars.
