As universities and colleges cut academic programs, close programs, and slash 13,000+ jobs, Budget 2025 halves international student enrolment without boosting core funding.

It is great to see the work of colleagues in Canada and Africa expanding with this CFP.

"The once-reliable routes for circulating research, spotting emerging trends, and connecting across disciplines are slowing down. Without shared spaces, visibility risks becoming uneven, with early-career and underrepresented scholars most likely to lose out."

Let's show our support!

Sorry for taking just too long to see this (still not hanging around here much!). It is lovely to see this pic!!!

Hai un bambino? Che bello! 🥰

I am eternally grateful for my time teaching at YorkU and the warmth of faculty and students in Classics and Classical Studies.

Please consider sending your support to our colleagues and students!

I would spend all my funding here! Amazing!

This is happy me last Saturday before watching "I'm still here" (Ainda Estou Aqui) and leaving in tears. This movie comes as a reminder that what we see in the the news about many nations (including mine) taking a very dark road towards autoritarianism ends bad.

Ditadura nunca mais! 👊

Check this out! Making Melissa's words mine: I loved this piece by my colleague Melanie Racette-Cambell. Looking forward to watching the movie soon!

I would eat this right now 😅. Not sure if you know but this dish comes from the Afrian slaves would cook beans with the unwanted parts of pork and whatever else they had available. You can add "farofa" (cassava flour cooked with bacon) and some orange bits (to cut the fat). Folks eat that on Saturd.

That looks yummy! Great job! 🇧🇷❤️

Looking forward to seeing what you will cook!

This is 100% accurate 😅!

Come to the CAC at our university!

We are super excited you are coming!!! (bring Layla, please 😜)

Picture of a broken marble statue face. Text repeats the information in the post except it adds the time (4:00PM) and room (3D01) as well as this short summary: From theatre’s apparent beginnings in the late Archaic Age of Ancient Greece to the twenty-first century, the living body of the human actor has been seen as the central and defining feature of the medium, the source of theatre’s uniqueness as well as its limitations. The corporeality of the live actor, however, has impelled innovators to call for the complete eradication of the human actor from the stage. This presentation locates the origins of this depersonalizing attempt in the ambiguity of the masked actor at the very foundation of tragedy in ancient Greece and traces how posthumanist moves to supplant the human centre of theatre are, in fact, perhaps connected to the origins of drama in ancient Greece.

Our next New Directions in Classics talk is coming up this Friday, Nov. 22 at 4PM at the U of Winnipeg. It's Dr. Paul Monaghan with "The Complete Eradication of the Live Actor from the Tragic Stage."

Hiring at UWinnipeg has been frozen amid a $5 million budget shortfall. New restrictions on international students are mostly to blame but govts encouraged this approach to balancing budgets. #Manitoba needs to fill this gap and get back to funding universities properly.,
