RITM

Rituals and Texts in Mesopotamia

A global study group of young-career scholars working on Mesopotamian rituals

RITM is based on a sense of community, mutual support, and honesty. As scholars of Ancient Near Eastern religions, we are often confronted with the apparent disparity between our fields, which are strongly defined by philology, and the methodologies and theories offered by Religious, Ritual, and Social Studies. In RITM, we aspire to bridge this gap between theory and practice.
