New Directions in Classics 2020-21
The Department of Classics’ New Directions in Classics series just wrapped up its fourth season.
New Directions in Classics was more conversational. We hosted five 90-minute Zoom sessions, with two local speakers and three visiting virtually from outside of the University of 丁香园AV.
Once again, we would like to thank donors to our University of 丁香园AV Foundation . If you would like to support the series, please consider visiting the campaign page.
If you’d like more information on New Directions in Classics, please email Dr. Peter J. Miller, , download the poster [PDF of the image below], , or see archived YouTube videos of each talk below.
