The Department of Egyptology and Ancient Western Asian
Studies of Brown University will be hosting a workshop on
Earlier Egyptian grammar March 27-29, 2013. The event is
intended as an opportunity to discuss problems of interpreting
Old and Middle Egyptian texts and not as a forum for the
presentation of individual research. The venue and schedule of
discussions is listed below. Those interested in attending are
asked to email me (jamespallen@brown.edu) so that we know
how many to expect.
