    Join Commonwealth Speaker Ann Guinan, of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, when she presents a “hands-on” program reminiscent of the 1950s quiz game show using museum artifacts. This event is suitable for individuals in grade 6 and older.  The Outreach Lecture Program is funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and sponsored by the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology.
    Ann Guinan is a specialist in Ancient Near Eastern cultures and languages, and a Research Associate at the Babylonian Section of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology. She conducts research in the British Museum, London and publishes and lectures both here and abroad on a variety of anthropological subjects. Her reconstruction of a rare Assyrian omen text related to ancient psychology and sexual behavior has led to a study of divination, magic, and sexuality in a variety of world cultures. She is an editor of the series, Magic and Divination in the Ancient World which is published by Brill/Styx in Leiden, NL. She is also on the board of editors of NIN-Journal of Gender Studies in Antiquity.
