Funding

This journal is an independent academic initiative sustained by the voluntary efforts of its editorial and advisory teams. Without institutional sponsorship, we rely on the time, expertise, occasional grants, and donations of our contributors. This model ensures intellectual autonomy and alignment with our values of openness, collaboration, and accessibility.

Part of our work is supported by the innovation project “Voces olvidadas en la Antigüedad: docencia inclusiva y pensamiento crítico en tiempos de inteligencia artificial” (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Teaching Innovation Project – Modalitat A, GI517492), led by Carlos Heredia and Isaías Arrayás.

Mission and Scope

Our mission is to promote the study of Antiquity in ways that are both academically rigorous and pedagogically transformative. We welcome contributions from history, archaeology, philology, literature, philosophy, and the digital humanities.

We especially value research that:

  • Connects ancient worlds to present-day debates on technology, ethics, sustainability, and social justice.
  • Engages with neurodivergent perspectives and develops inclusive approaches to teaching and learning.
  • Recovers and amplifies historically marginalised voices, particularly those of women and underrepresented groups.
  • Experiments with emerging technologies (AI, VR, gamification, digital platforms) to rethink pedagogy.

Editorial Standards

All submissions undergo a rigorous double-blind peer-review process to ensure scholarly integrity and excellence.

  • Diversity in content, methodology, and authorship.
  • Research that is both intellectually substantial and pedagogically meaningful.
  • Ethical, transparent, and inclusive scholarly practices.

Institutional Support

AI & Antiquity is enriched by the intellectual environment and academic networks of institutions closely linked to its editorial team and contributors:

These collaborations provide continued academic and professional support while ensuring that the journal remains open, interdisciplinary, and connected to research and teaching communities worldwide.
