| Early Career Scholars Coffee Hour on May 30 |
The Early Career Scholars Committee is starting a new community-building initiative. On May 30th at 1 PM EDT, we will be hosting our first ever social Coffee Hour over Zoom! These Coffee Hours will be bi-monthly events, in which we want to bring together ASOR enthusiasts from around the world. We welcome students (high school, college, graduate) as well as early career scholars to enjoy some friendly conversation, with our first theme being "archaeological fieldwork." We are interested in hearing all your fieldwork stories and in particular, any questions from those going into the field for the first time. We hope to build a larger online network in the future with these social events as casual, drop-in at any time, hang-out virtual spaces. Please spread the event widely—Zoom link: https://unc.zoom.us/j/95420093585

| Libyan Update from the VAM: The Role of Departments of Archaeology |
We have recently highlighted a number of papers that ASOR's Libyan colleagues presented at the 2020 Virtual Annual Meeting. The next featured presentation, by Mrs. Mofeda Mohammed Kreidigh of Sabratha University, discusses the role of university archaeology departments in protecting cultural heritage. The paper showcases teaching strategies both within and outside of the classroom, and details the current activities of university archaeology departments. ASOR's Libyan colleagues participated in the Virtual Annual Meeting thanks to support from the U.S. Embassy Libya External Office (LEO). Click here to view the paper.
