<p>Hey everyone!
So over the course of last summer and this I have done a lot of research over Harappan civilization also known as the Indus Valley civilization. I have a keen interest in History specially in Tribes and historian cultures. I have completed an article over this civilization. I was just in 8th grade when I first heard their name, and after visiting a museum over the summer I decided to do some research over them. It took me a lot of time and effort to research over their religion,culture and establishments. I am finally done with my article, and I personally think that it's very a good opportunity to interact with a Harvard professor about this. I was wondering if I should contact a History professor at Harvard and show them my article? Do you guys think that he/she would reply back? I have decided to contact them through email and found the information on the link below. </p>
<p>@WasatchWriter that’s what I had planned to do in the first place, but then I got intimidated by the fact that what if they ignore. Thanks for your help though </p>
<p>What do you hope to gain by doing this? I don’t think ancient civilizations normally fall under the purview of college history departments. Do you have a nearby college with an archeology department? Maybe they could help you with your project. Good luck.</p>
<p>If your piece is original research using primary sources, you should contact professors who study this particular civilization, not just “a history professor.” The people in this field may be appointed in a department of South Asian studies, archaeology, history, religion…you have to look into that.</p>
<p>If your piece is NOT original research, it’s probably not going to interest a professor.</p>
<p>Find out where original research in this field is published and look at some recent articles. That will give you an idea of the sorts of things professors read.</p>
