Classical Reception: Harriet Fertik on Returning to Antiquity | Voices of Excellence

My latest "Voices" interview with Harriet Fertik, who discusses her most recent project, "Traditions Lost and Found: W. E. B. Du Bois, Hannah Arendt, and Classical Antiquity," which explores how these two thinkers evoked classical antiquity in their respective works.
