| New Resource: "Women of ASOR" Map |
During the past year, ASOR’s publications and membership team, Kevin Cooney and especially Aviva Cormier, created a resource map for its membership, emphasizing the efforts and successes of ASOR’s women members working in Near Eastern archaeology. This “Women of ASOR” resource map is just the beginning; our next project will be to expand our map to include our entire membership base.
