AI & Antiquity

About the Journal

Founded in 2025, AI & Antiquity: Journal of Teaching and Technology in Ancient Studies (ISSN 3081-4553) was established on the conviction that Ancient Studies—encompassing history, archaeology, philology, and art history—urgently require a dedicated forum for critical reflection on pedagogy, teaching practices, and the transformative role of digital technologies in education. In a scholarly environment where research often takes precedence, this journal places teaching at the centre of attention: as a fundamental, creative, and intellectual dimension of professional practice in the study of the ancient world.

The journal’s mission is to foster dialogue among researchers, educators, and technologists committed to inclusive, active, and innovative pedagogies for engaging with the past. AI & Antiquity gives particular attention to perspectives historically overlooked in scholarship—especially those of women and other underrepresented groups—alongside the experiences of neurodivergent students and educators. As an online publication, it provides a dynamic platform for exchanging ideas and practices across disciplines and geographies. While artificial intelligence occupies a central place in this conversation, the journal also embraces a wide spectrum of digital tools—from immersive environments and data visualisation to collaborative platforms and gamified learning strategies—with the aim of reshaping how Antiquity is taught and learned in the 21st century.

AI & Antiquity is published under the umbrella of the Center for Innovation in Ancient Worlds (CIAW), a non-profit academic framework designed to sustain the journal and to foster new initiatives at the intersection of Ancient Studies, pedagogy, and digital innovation. Through CIAW, the journal benefits from a stable institutional base while remaining an independent academic initiative. It also counts on the support of the Area of Ancient History, Department of Sciences of Antiquity and the Middle Ages, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.

Drawing on the expertise of a distinguished editorial team and an international advisory board, AI & Antiquity ensures academic excellence, fosters interdisciplinary innovation, and seeks global relevance in every contribution it publishes.
