Princeton Oxford Exchange
Director John G. Gager, Religion Department
The Princeton-Oxford Exchange in the ancient world began in 2001 as part of
a larger initiative of the two universities to mutually enhance programs of
the two institutions. A steering committee composed of faculty of the two
universities has as it principal role the selection of a topic for parallel
seminars usually held in the autumn of each year. The Princeton members of
the committee are the members of the Program in the Ancient World committee,
one of whom serves as director of the Princeton side of the initiative. The
two seminars meet for three days in January of each year alternating between
the two universities, at which time the students deliver papers and lead discussion
on the chosen topic.
