Attend Upcoming Lectures
Every autumn, the Assyrian Heritage Lecture Series is pleased to invite a distinguished scholar to present a talk discussing an aspect of Near Eastern Studies, with an emphasis in the Neo-Assyrian Period, between the 10th and 7th century BCE. The lecture is presented on the UC Berkeley campus with co-sponsorship by the Department of Near Eastern Studies at UC Berkeley and in San Jose with co-sponsorship of the Assyrian American Association of San Jose. Lectures are open to all and there is no entrance fee.
