The Marco Institute

It was a long journey, but the Marco Institute crew has arrived in Kalamazoo! @kzooicms.bsky.social #medieVOLS

Our Beginner Latin classes for this summer are now FULL, but if you're interested, we can add you to the waitlist! Our Intermediate Latin and Beginner Syriac classes have some limited spaces remaining, and lots of space left in Advanced Medieval Latin! #medievalsky #syriac #latin

It’s a packed house for our keynote! Brent Seales (University of Kentucky), introduced by UT College of Arts & Sciences Dean R.J. Hinde, is telling us about “On Virtually Unwrapping the Herculaneum Scrolls”! #classics #dh #digitalhumanities #AIHSS

Excellent first day of our “AI in the Humanities & Social Sciences” symposium yesterday! Lots of great tech demos (including the University of Tennessee’s own Global Computing Lab and AI architect Mark Greig), presentations, and a workshop with WondaVR! Back today for even more! #aihss

Final prep is underway for our “AI in the Humanities & Social Sciences” symposium taking place here at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, tomorrow and Saturday! For more information check out tiny.utk.edu/AI-HSS! #AIHSS

Mallory was supervised by Dr. Anne-Helene Miller (Marco's Riggsby Director). She is currently a lecturer in French and Director of the French minor at ETSU. She was supported at her defense by all of her graduate student friends and colleagues from French program!

Congratulations to Mallory Nischan, PhD candidate in French, who successfully defended her dissertation, "Retelling Resistance: Orality, Writing, and the Kahina in North African Francophone Literature," earlier this week!

We're very excited to have him join us! And looking forward to continuing to offer both Latin and Syriac (and maybe some other languages) moving forward!
