OUR PURPOSE

The purpose of the IOS shall be to advance the study of Ovid, with attention to all media and time periods and a commitment to supporting students and younger scholars. This purpose shall be accomplished by (1) sponsoring panels at the Society for Classical Studies and regional conferences in North America; (2) sponsoring international conferences; (3) promoting scholarship and other intellectual exchange between Ovidians broadly construed; (4) promoting outreach to a wider public; and (5) expanding into other scholarly, pedagogical, and outreach programs, as the Steering Committee might deem useful.
