The annual Paul
Rehak
Award was set up in 2005 for the best study of "homosocial and
homoerotic relationships and environments, ancient sexuality and gender
roles, and representation of the gendered body" by the Lambda Classical Caucus, an affiliate
of the American Philological Association.
Since 2006, The Department of Classics at the University of Kansas has hosted, every March, the Paul Rehak Memorial Symposium in Ancient Art. These symposia, occupying a Tuesday afternoon, feature three speakers on various aspects of Greek and Roman art, often also involving gender, ethnicity, and color, three of Paul's favorite themes. For a list of these symposia, speakers, and titles, click here.
