Welcome to the course forum for the Artemis A.W. and Martha Sharp Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World at Brown University.

We seek to explore innovative pedagogies by enabling project-based learning in dynamic digital environments. These forums (or fora, if you prefer) are designed to enhance both collaborative and co-creative learning in a number of Institute classes.

Here you will find a list of the current and upcoming courses:
