New Directions in Classics 2020-21
The Department of Classics’ New Directions in Classics series just wrapped up its fourth season.
New Directions in Classics was more conversational. We hosted five 90-minute Zoom sessions, with two local speakers and three visiting virtually from outside of the University of Â鶹´«Ã½.
Once again, we would like to thank donors to our University of Â鶹´«Ã½ Foundation . If you would like to support the series, please consider visiting the campaign page.
If you’d like more information on New Directions in Classics, please email Dr. Peter J. Miller, , download the poster [PDF of the image below], , or see archived YouTube videos of each talk below.
