(in) Famous Women (3/5)
Tuesday, November 23rd at 5pm Eastern Time (RESCHEDULED)

Known the world over for her crime fiction, Agatha Christie spent almost half a century deeply involved in the archaeology of the Middle East, working alongside her husband Max Mallowan at important excavations in Irak and Syria. This talk delves into her hands-on approach to archaeology in Mesopotamia and its influence on her writing, and looks at the parallels between detective fiction and archaeology.

Virtual Soirée presentation procedure:

Dana and our guide will arrive at the meeting 10 minutes in advance for those of you who would like to say hello and make sure your zoom settings are ready. The presentation will start promptly at the scheduled hour, and Dana will begin the meeting by muting the microphones and introducing our speaker. The talk will be recorded.  The lecture will last about 45 minutes and afterward Dana will moderate a Q&A session. If you show up late, no worries, you will be muted upon entry.

After the tour, you will receive a follow-up email with a recording of the event. You will be able to access this recording until December 31st, 2021.
