Scholars focusing on Late Antiquity typically concentrate on one or two religious traditions from the ancient Mediterranean and Near East. They also develop comprehensive knowledge of the era, including its languages and historical context. Stanford's program in Late Antiquity offers specialized expertise in areas such as rabbinic texts, Syriac scholarship, interfaith interactions, manuscript studies, spatial analysis, digital humanities approaches to antiquity, material culture, and gender/sexuality studies in the ancient world. The program leverages Stanford's wide-ranging interdisciplinary resources and methodological tools.
