We aim to advance interdisciplinary study of the interplay between culture, religion and society in antiquity. Our activities focus on ancient cultures in and around the Mediterranean, thus including the Graeco-Roman world as well as early Judaism and Christianity and other minority cultures of the ancient Mediterranean and the Near East. We organise a monthly Ancient World Seminar, an Annual Meet
ing and a Master Class and various other activities to promote interdisciplinary collaboration and discussion. CRASIS is a partnership between the Faculty of Arts, the Faculty of Theology and Religious Studies, and the PThU Groningen. We receive funding from the Groningen Research Institute for the Study of Culture (ICOG), the Centre for Religious Studies (CRS) and the Groningen Institute for Archaeology (GIA). Our activities focus on Greek and Roman cultures as well as early Judaism and Christianity and other minority cultures that were part of the ancient world.
