Alexander Jones will present a brief survey on his experience, as a faculty member and director of the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World (NYU), with different approaches to the study of the astral sciences in early cultures and the presentation of the research results to varied audiences in academia and beyond. He will answer questions by Sonja Brentjes on how, during his time at ISAW, changes have occurred in the ways that researchers and audiences have come together, exchanged views and insights, and found new paths for exploring the wealth of historical artifacts testifying to the multifaceted engagement of people of long gone times with the night sky and its marvels and threats.
