Ancient Egypt in Context will:

Provide concise yet authoritative overviews of fundamental themes in the study of ancient Egypt, alongside original, innovative insights into frontier topics.

Advocate a more fluid combination of archaeology, history, anthropology and other disciplines. 

Generate models, theories and datasets that can be integrated into broader archaeological and historical discourse.

Demonstrate the potential of multi-perspective research, including through comparative approaches, whether geographical, temporal or disciplinary.

 Provide a dynamic reference resource for students, researchers and specialists, not only of Egyptology but also of other social sciences.

Scope of the series:

The imperative for the series is to use terminology and approaches that can easily be understood by non-Egyptologists, without over-simplifying issues. Topics will fall under one (or more) of three main categories:

Major themes: Multi-perspective overviews of major topics that seek to mark current understanding, position the topic in broad interdisciplinary perspective and shape future research.

Exploring topics: Data-driven and micro-history approaches that provide in depth examinations of key and emerging topics, providing lynchpins for both cross-disciplinary analysis and the furthering of Egyptological research.

Global views: Comparative research that considers interdisciplinary and intercultural perspectives in greater depth and promotes reflection on the current position and future direction of Egyptology.
