Bartera Leads New Classics Club at Fulton High School

October 2, 2023 by classicsweb

At Fulton High School, we have chosen Aequora because we believe in fostering students’ passions for classical studies. Through The Paideia Institute’s Aequora curriculum, we harness the classical languages’ power to improve literacy while making the ancient Mediterranean world fun and accessible to students of all backgrounds. 

Led by independent site coordinators, Aequora envisions Classics as an inclusive, diverse, and socially engaged field. Our textbook, Aequora: Teaching Literacy with Latin, introduces the basics of Latin vocabulary and grammar, Roman culture and mythology, and connections between Latin, English, and Spanish, all through games and activities designed to show students that learning Latin is fun!

New Options for Students

October 1, 2023 by classicsweb

In Fall 2022, we have added a fifth concentration: in addition to Latin, Greek, Classical Archaeology, and Classical Civilization, students now are able to major or minor in Classical Languages, combining Latin and Greek. We also have created an Undergraduate Certificate in Classical Languages for students who want to become Latin high-school teachers or go to graduate school. Please look under “Prospective Students” or “Current Students” for more information about these new options.

Goodbyes and Hellos

September 2, 2023 by classicsweb

This summer we said good-bye to John Friend, Maura Lafferty, and Sklenar. Friend is returning with his family to New Zealand, and Lafferty and Sklenar have retired. We are sorry to see them leave, but we wish them the best and will stay in touch. We now have two new assistant professors: Salvador Bartera is replacing Chris Craig (retired 2020) as our Latin prose specialist, and Jessica Westerhold is replacing Sklenar as our Latin poetry expert. Lorenzo Del Monte is a new lecturer in the department. You can find out more about them under “People.” We are searching for Friend’s replacement this year.
