Cristina Biaggi Remembers Olympia Dukakis
Recently we invited our advisory board members to tell us what is on their minds these days, to share their current projects, milestones, and emerging collaborations. Cristina’s is the first post for this series.
In these times, too many of us have lost treasured friends. We acknowledge all such losses, and offer condolences and comfort to Cristina and to everyone who has experienced such a loss.

“Wisdom Across the Ages” 2021 Symposium Program
Wisdom Across the Ages: Celebrating the Centennial of Archaeomythologist Marija Gimbutas
July 16-18, 2021
UNESCO has recognized the centennial of Marija Gimbutas’ birth as one of the world’s most influential events for 2021.
In honor of her work and life, ASWM’s 2021 Symposium is presented in cooperation with the institute of Archaeomythology. This unique event offers cutting edge scholarship in the context of artistic celebrations and memories of this revolutionary scientist, who was also a wise mentor and a loving friend.
We are pleased to introduce the program for our Online Symposium. The program features two important keynote addresses:
“Celebrating a Great Woman of Science: The Life and Legacy of Archaeomythologist Marija Gimbutas” (Joan Marler)
“Marija Gimbutas’ ‘Collision of Cultures’: the Kurgan
Invasions and the End of Old Europe” (Dr. Harald Haarmann)
See the full program at the symposium website–and watch for updates coming soon. Registration for this event opens May 5, 2021.
Please note: We realize that there may be schedule conflicts during the weekend of the symposium. To give you plenty of time to view the program at leisure, all sessions will remain available, to those who register, for twelve months following the event.
