Mostly boring, but…Greek theatre & stagecraft; antiquity in pop culture; still on Twitter, for now.

Cross-listed with Gender and Social Justice, which means all kinds of ever-evolving points of view in the room with you, opening up fascinating avenues of exploration for the ancient world. Probably the class which teaches me the most every time I teach it

Love, Sex, and Death "Ancient Greeks and Romans explored concepts of love, sexual roles, and violence through writing that inspires scholars and artists to this day. Draws upon works from ancient drama and poetry to philosophy and epitaphs to explore ancient attitudes and their critical reception."

I love this course and its open ended / seminar style approach to how we understand classical literature! Is it at all like modern lit? Why or why not? Do we read it differently? Why?

"Literature of the ancient Greek and Romans constitutes one of the most influential set of texts in world history. Reaching from antiquity to digital age, introduces students to core methodological approaches, including language and translation, the textual tradition, and theoretical approaches."

The problem with prepping a course on Antiquity on Screen is all the amazing, AMAZING rabbit holes.

Every so often a volume shows up in the mail that I have *zero* recollection of ordering / requesting (best guess, delayed payment for some referee work a while back). What a treat…looking forward to digging into some of the essays here!
