It includes the study of Ethiopian and Eritrean [[arts]] and the history and [[theology]] of the [[Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church\|Ethiopian Orthodox Church]]. The classical core of Ethiopian and Eritrean studies is the philology of the written sources of [[Christianity\|Christian]] Ethiopia and Eritrea and [[Ethiopian Semitic languages\|Ethio-semitic linguistics]]. While this approach is still alive and has its role, Ethiopian and Eritrean studies has opened to a wider concept that tries to avoid a bias in favour of the Christian Abyssinian culture ([[Amhara people\|Amhara]], [[~~Tigray-~~Tigrinya people\|Tigrinya]]; ''cf''. [[Habesha people]]). It includes the study of the other [[Afro-Asiatic languages\|Afro-Asiatic]] languages and cultures of Ethiopia and Eritrea besides those of Ethio-semitic derivation; the nation's non-Afro-Asiatic languages and cultures, including the [[Southern Nations, Nationalities, and People's Region\|southern Ethiopian]] cultures; non-Christian faiths, comprising [[Islam in Ethiopia]] and [[Islam in Eritrea\|Eritrea]] and traditional religions; social and political sciences; as well as contemporary issues like environment and development studies.<ref>{{Cite web\|title=Ethiopia - Ethnic groups and languages\|url=https://www.britannica.com/place/Ethiopia\|access-date=2021-05-21\|website=Encyclopedia Britannica\|language=en}}</ref> ==Institute of Ethiopian ~~and Eritrean~~ Studies== The study of Ethiopian and Eritrean topics had been long been concentrated in European academic institutions. This is seen in such examples as [[Enno Littmann]] directing the German Aksum-Expedition in Ethiopia in 1905.<ref>{{Cite web\|url=https://www.deutsche-biographie.de/sfz70538.html\|title=Littmann, Enno - Deutsche Biographie\|last=Biographie\|first=Deutsche\|website=www.deutsche-biographie.de\|language=de\|access-date=2018-04-10}}</ref> When [[Second Italo-Ethiopian War\|Italy invaded Ethiopia]], some Italian scholars such as [[Enrico Cerulli]] were active in Ethiopia. As a result, many [[Ethiopian manuscript collections]] and other materials from Ethiopia are found in European museums and libraries. Line 11 ⟶ 13: ==Conferences== Ethiopian and Eritrean studies scholars congregate at the interdisciplinary International Conference of Ethiopian Studies, a series of gatherings that takes place every three years. Traditionally, every third conference is held in Ethiopia. The 19th meeting was in Warsaw, August 24–28, 2015. The 20th conference ~~will be~~was in [[Mek'ele\|Mekelle]], Ethiopia, in 2018.
