Events & Workshops

The Waterloo Institute for Hellenistic Studies (WIHS) hosts and supports a wide range of academic events dedicated to exploring the history, culture, languages, and intellectual traditions of the Hellenistic world.  Below you'll find details about our upcoming conferences, workshops, and lectures — each reflecting the Institute's commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration and scholarly exchange.

These events bring together researchers, students, and community members to share ideas, present new findings, and engage in dialogue across disciplines and traditions.  Registration links, programs, and recordings will be added as they become available.

Further down this page, you'll also find our Past Events Archive, which preserves information, posters, and media from previous WIHS initiatives.  This archive provides an accessible record of the Institute's evolving work and ongoing contributions to the field of Hellenistic Studies.  We encourage you to explore, revisit past discussions, and stay connected with our future activities.
