ASWM 2021 Symposium

Wisdom Across the Ages: Celebrating the Centennial of Archaeomythologist Marija Gimbutas

July 16-18 2021

Marija Gimbutas founded the groundbreaking field of archaeomythology to investigate beliefs, rituals, symbols, and social structures of early European societies. Archaeomythology is inspiring a new generation of scholars to develop a deeper understanding of past and present earth-based societies.

Our ASWM symposium seeks to expand this understanding by highlighting the voices of First Nations and Indigenous scholars to discuss Indigenous, Old European, and other Nature-based cultures.

We are seeking proposals in these topic areas:

  • Women at the Center: Matrifocal, Matristic, Matriarchal Societies
  • Voices from the Land
  • Sacred Human-Animal Relationships

We are also seeking artists’ entries for a juried art exhibit of works inspired by archaeomythology or Nature-based societies.

Deadline for submissions: Feb 15, 2021

All presenters must be or become members of ASWM ($30-60 dues) and register for the event.
