Special Issue: Neurodiversity and Ancient History Education

The journal now invites contributions for its third volume, to be published in September 2026. This special issue will be devoted exclusively to neurodiversity and its application to Ancient History and Classical Studies, exploring how neurodivergent perspectives can transform both the teaching and understanding of the ancient world.

We welcome submissions from scholars, educators, and practitioners who are engaging with inclusive, neurodivergent-aware approaches to learning, research, and communication in Ancient Studies. Contributions may address theoretical, methodological, or practical aspects of neurodiversity in academic, digital, or outreach contexts.

Possible areas of interest include (but are not limited to):

  • Neurodivergent perspectives on teaching, learning, and researching Antiquity

  • Inclusive pedagogy and universal design for learning (UDL) in Ancient Studies

  • The role of AI and digital tools in supporting neurodiverse learning environments

  • Sensory and emotional dimensions of historical learning

  • Cognitive diversity in interpreting ancient texts, art, and material culture

  • Case studies on classroom innovation or digital accessibility in Ancient History

  • Reflections on personal experience, and academic practice

In addition to research articles, we also welcome reflective essays, teaching reports, and reviews of books, platforms, or pedagogical tools that advance inclusive and neurodiversity-oriented approaches to the Ancient World.

Important Dates

  • Full paper submission deadline: April 30, 2026
