Here are just some quick updates regarding a couple of events previously advertised (see the last post from 4/6 for details):
The Professor Panel (I'm SO excited!) is to be held on Thursday, April 24th from 2:30-4:00 PM in Van Hise 1418. So mark that calendar and start thinking of some things you'd like to ask and/or discuss with our fantastic Classics faculty! [Current Participants: Brockliss, Tate, Dressler, Nelsestuen.]
Secondly, the Classics Department's End of the Year Reception will be on Wednesday, April 30th from 4:30-5:30 PM in Union South! As with our meetings, be sure to check the Today in the Union (TITU) board upon your arrival in order to find the assigned room.
In other news, I've got two more lectures sponsored by the Classics Department that are free and open to the public:
Professor J. Donald Hughes of the University of Denver will be giving his lecture "Greening the Greeks, Recycling the Romans" on Tuesday, April 15th at 5:30 in Van Hise 104. Professor Hughes researches environmental history (particularly of the ancient world, but of other areas as well) and has given lectures around the world on the subject. His groundbreaking books, Ecology in Ancient Civilizations (1975) and Pan's Travail: The Environmental Problems of the Ancient Greeks and Romans (1994, now in a second edition as Environmental Problems of the Greeks and Romans: Ecology in the Ancient Mediterranean, 2014) demonstrated the inextricable links between the ancients and the environment, and argued persuasively that ecological factors played a major part in the decline of Greco-Roman civilization. Any with an interest in the environment/environmental studies and/or the ancient Mediterranean world should find this a real treat!
Professor Egbert Bakker of Yale University will be giving his lecture "In and Out of the Golden Age: The Temporality of Odysseus' Return" on Tuesday, April 29th at 5:30 in Van Hise 104.
Videbimus vos mox!
