Dear colleagues,
I am so very grateful to the 200+ of you who are serving on CAMWS committtees and task forces this year, or keeping watch over your state, province, or region as a Vice-President, or making policy decisions as members of the Executive Committee! People may wrongly assume that CAMWS is a “top down“ organization; on the contrary, it is “horizontal” in the best sense of the word, and we are always striving to extend our reach and broaden our perspectives.
This is the crunch time of year for the CAMWS Program Committee: after evaluating all of the proposals for panels and workshops, we are busy reading through the more than 300 abstracts that have been submitted for individual papers. We hope to be finished by late this month. Proposals for round-table discussions will be next, followed in January by abstracts submitted for the new undergraduate poster session. If you run into any of the hard-working, and by now quite bleary-eyed, members of the Program Committee, please thank them for their indispensable service to CAMWS: Jennifer Ferriss-Hill (University of Miami [FL]), Ellen Greene (University of Oklahoma), Keely Lake (Wayne State University [MI]), Vassiliki Panoussi (College of William and Mary), Zoe Stamatopoulou (Washington University in St. Louis [MO]), and Timothy Wutrich (Case Western Reserve University [OH]), along with ex-officio members Andrew Faulkner (University of Waterloo [ON]), Past President of CAMWS, and David Schenker (University of Missouri), CAMWS President Elect. You may enjoy reading the abstracts from the accepted panels (
https://camws.org/node/1540) and the accepted workshops (
https://camws.org/node/1541). We are particularly excited about the panel (“
E Pluribus Unum: The Challenge and Opportunities of ‘Diversity’ for Classics and for CAMWS”) organized by the CAMWS ad-hoc Committee on Diversity and Inclusion; the Women’s Classical Caucus has kindly agreed to co-sponsor the panel and a reception afterwards.
Those of you planning to attend the annual meeting in Birmingham next spring (March 25-28) are in for a treat. The local committee is a congenial mix of classicists from ten different Alabama schools, colleges, and universities, all under the dynamic leadership of Randy Todd, Doug Clapp, Andy Montgomery, and Shannon Flynt from Samford University. The campus is beautiful and has stellar facilities. The Hyatt Regency (Wynfrey) Hotel not only abounds in meeting rooms, banquet halls, and spaces for exhibits and displays, but also houses its own restaurant, Merk’s Tavern & Kitchen, which serves three meals daily. The adjacent mall (Riverchase Galleria) offers many delights, as do the celebrated eating establishments that seem to be everywhere in the area. If you would like to explore Birmingham, it would be helpful to have a car, but the hotel’s courtesy shuttle service will gladly deliver you to and from your destination, be it the moving Civil Rights Institute, the kid-friendly McWane Science Center, or 56-foot-tall Vulcan, the largest cast-iron statue in the world. I encourage you to take inspiration from the blacksmith god and strive to “forge” lasting connections with your fellow classicists by attending the CAMWS meeting of MMXX in Birmingham.

President

FROM THE SECRETARY-TREASURER
|
|
Dear fellow CAMWSians:
As you may be aware, CAMWS operates on a fiscal year beginning July 1st and ending June 30th. I am happy to report that the organization ended its FY18-19 in fiscally-sound condition with an individual member total of 1514 (the highest since FY12-13, when membership reached 1543).
The fiscal future of CAMWS appears even brighter since the organization received the news that it is one of fifteen classical organizations named as equal beneficiaries of an $8 million, non-endowed fund established with the Philadelphia Foundation by Dr. Rudolph Masciantonio, who taught Latin in the Philadelphia Public Schools for many years and died on September 23, 2016. You can read more about Dr. Masciantonio and his bequest elsewhere in this newsletter or at
https://camws.org/node/1571.
The members of the CAMWS Executive Committee have been very busy of late dealing with a variety of important matters. In response to current issues in our profession, the Executive Committee has made a formal
Statement on CAMWS and Political Involvement affirming that CAMWS is an apolitical organization which welcomes as members persons of all political, social and religious convictions, and supports classicists and classics programs in the CAMWS region and beyond.
CAMWS has also formed an ad-hoc Committee on Diversity and Inclusion, chaired by Theodore Tarkow of the University of Missouri. Other members of the committee include Leanna L. Boychenko of Loyola University Chicago (IL), Dennis C. Dickerson, Jr. of Christian Brothers High School (TN), Benjamin S. Haller of Virginia Wesleyan University, Jeffrey J. Namiotka of Western Reserve Academy (OH), Anna Peterson of Pennsylvania State University, Lisa M. Piacesi of Camp Creek Middle School (GA), Angela L. Pitts of University of Mary Washington (VA), and Heather L . Vincent of Eckerd College (FL). This committee has hit the ground running by writing a
charter and planning both a panel and a round-table discussion for the 2020 meeting in Birmingham. Elsewhere in this newsletter you can read a report from Ted Tarkow outlining some of the committee’s other plans. An amendment to the CAMWS constitution to make this ad-hoc committee a standing committee will be on the agenda of the annual Business Meeting in Birmingham.
The Executive Committee has agreed that, in the future, CAMWS will continue its traditional practice of having its Annual Meeting sponsored by one or more of the local schools, colleges, or universities. However, the question of whether to hold all of the sessions and events in a hotel or to hold some of them on the campus of a sponsoring institution is still being discussed. At the direction of the Executive Committee, President Anne Groton has appointed a Task Force on Meetings, which will evaluate the options and submit a report, along with recommendations, to the Executive Committee by the end of this calendar year. The Task Force is chaired by Peter Knox of Case Western Reserve University (OH). Other members include Brian M. Duvick of University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, Angela L. Pitts at the University of Mary Washington (VA), Martin P. Shedd of Hendrix College (AR), Holly M. Sypniewski of Millsaps College (MS), and T. Davina McClain of Louisiana Scholars’ College at Northwestern State University (LA), who as CAMWS Secretary-Treasurer Elect, serves as a non-voting ex-officio member. CAMWS meetings through 2024 have already been planned. (These are listed here:
https://camws.org/meeting/future.php.) The Executive Committee has granted the Secretary-Treasurer and the Secretary-Treasurer Elect flexibility in the site-selection process for 2025: they may choose to propose a meeting with all sessions and events held in a hotel or a meeting with some of its sessions and events held on the campus of a sponsoring institution.
Another ad-hoc Committee established by President Groton is charged with making recommendations regarding the $27800 CAMWS has raised so far for its Teacher Training Initiative. (If you have not yet contributed to this fund, it is not too late to do so here:
https://camws.org/donate.) The chair of this committee is Fanny L. Dolansky of Brock University (ON), whose preliminary report appears elsewhere in this newsletter. Other members of this committee include Catherine C. Keane of Washington University in St. Louis (MO), Thomas Garvey of The Meadows School (NV), Charles T. Ham of Grand Valley State University (MI), and Benjamin C. Holec of Bishop Ireton High School (VA).
I would like to thank the members of these ad-hoc committees and task forces, as well as the members of all CAMWS standing committees, the regional, state and provincial vice presidents and the other officers of the organization for their willingness to devote their time and energy to making CAMWS the best possible organization it can be.
Finally, I would like to let you know that the CAMWS office has already begun its transition from Monmouth, Illinois, to Natchitoches, Louisiana. (In the upcoming months we are all going to have to learn how to spell and pronounce “Natchitoches” [similar to “Pack-A-Dish”].) Davina McClain has been shadowing me since she was elected Secretary-Treasurer Elect at the 2019 Business Meeting in Lincoln and has started taking on some duties of the office. Early in the new year she will hire an administrative assistant who will work with Jevanie Gillen in the final stages of preparation for the 2020 meeting and will also work at registration in Birmingham. I am confident that CAMWS will be in good hands when my term ends on June 30, 2020.
I look forward to seeing many of you at the 2020 meeting in Birmingham.
Tom Sienkewicz
Secretary-Treasurer

Committee on Diversity and Inclusion
Ted Tarkow, Chair
Among the important achievements of CAMWS earlier this year was the establishment of an ad hoc Committee on Diversity and Inclusion.* In its first few months, the nine members of the Committee (listed later in this issue and
on the CAMWS website) have hit the ground running: organizing a panel (“
E PLURIBUS UNUM: The challenge and opportunities of “diversity” for Classics and for CAMWS) and proposing a Round Table for the 2020 CAMWS convention in Birmingham, AL. We have also begun to initiate connections with analogous committees in other classical organizations, which should prove useful as we work collectively on these matters. Perhaps most important, we have clearly realized both the scope and the importance of the broad charge to this committee; this includes three broad categories which will guide our planning and our efforts.
- Who are our students? Our teachers? The schools in which we are present, or not present? Are we as diverse and inclusive as we might be? What possible steps might CAMWS undertake in a concerted effort to make positive progress on all of this?
- What texts that we teach (or at present do not teach) and study are potential allies and/or the opposite? How might be use them to address issues of diversity and inclusion while simultaneously keeping our focusses on language, literature, mythology, and the other rich and vital parts of our arsenal?
- Who and what are the audiences we must honestly deal with? From the naïve misunderstanding and/or sheltered unawareness of well-intentioned people to outright and deliberate distortion and falsification of the classical world by such vocal antagonists as the alt. right, we have a Herculean challenge as we move forward. What initiatives might the organization as a whole undertake?
In connection with all of this, the Committee invites members to contact us (even before the annual meeting in Birmingham) so that we can be inclusive in our deliberations: would a
repository of syllabi of representative courses be useful? Would
annual awards (and the local and regional publicity that regularly follow) be useful? Are we taking steps so that minority members of our profession are selected as
committee chairs and/or proposed for
elected offices? Would
Summer Institutes, featuring exemplary teachers and a curriculum based on issues and texts showcasing “diversity” and “inclusion” be a good goal for the future/?
Please send any thoughts on these and all other relevant topics to the Committee Chair, Ted Tarkow, (
diversity@camws.org; 573-882-4996) or save them until we all get together in Birmingham.
*A proposal to amend the constitution and thereby to make this a Standing Committee is intended for the Birmingham convention.

Teacher Training Initiative Subcommittee
Fanny Dolansky, Chair
The Teacher Training Initiative Subcommittee is an ad hoc committee comprised of K-12 teachers and college and university professors that was formed this past summer. The committee is in the early stages of generating ideas about initiatives that will have a significant impact on teaching training and particularly on recruitment. Committee members have been sharing ideas and will be reaching out to colleagues and former students who are K-12 teachers for their input.

Ladislaus J. Bolchazy Pedagogy Book Award
The CAMWS Subcommittee for the Bolchazy Pedagogy Book Award announces an annual call for nominations for the Award. The recipient of this $500.00 award will be announced at the annual CAMWS business meeting, where the recipient is encouraged to accept the award in person. This prize has been named in memory of Ladislaus J. Bolchazy in recognition of his long career promoting classical scholarship and pedagogy. The subcommittee asks for your help in identifying distinguished works of pedagogy, including textbooks, handbooks, anthologies or other works primarily intended for the classroom in the field of classical studies (including, but not limited to, the languages, literatures, history, religions, philosophy, art, architecture, archaeology, economy, and reception of Greek and Roman antiquity) published by CAMWS members in the past three years.
Preference will be given to language-based textbooks. The author of the nominated work shall be a member of the association in good standing in the year of the nomination and for at least the previous year. Nominations may be made by any publisher or by any member of CAMWS in good standing, including the author.
Criteria:
- appropriateness for the target student audience
- clarity of presentation
- excellent quality
- effective pedagogical practice and design
- potential for broad impact
Nominations of pedagogical books should be sent to the chair of the subcommittee on the Ladislaus J. Bolchazy Pedagogy Book Award at
pedagogyaward@camws.org.
The annual deadline for nominations for the award is September 1st. The subcommittee may, at its sole discretion, retain an unsuccessful nomination for consideration in the following year.
The winning book is announced at the annual CAMWS business meeting.
CAMWS First Book Award
The
Subcommittee on the CAMWS First Book Award asks for your help in identifying distinguished first scholarly books (or digital equivalents) in the field of classical studies (including, but not limited to, the languages, literatures, history, religions, philosophy, art, architecture, archaeology, economy, and reception of Greek and Roman antiquity) published by CAMWS members in 2017, 2018, or 2019. Self-nominations are encouraged. Please note that nominated authors must be members of the Association in good standing and for at least the previous year and that CAMWS has a separate award for
pedagogical books (see
Bolchazy Book Award). In the case of co-authored books, all authors must meet “first book” and membership eligibility requirements.
The Committee will close its list for the 2020 award on September 1, 2019.
Books published after that date may be considered for the 2021 award.
The current committee’s guidelines for awards include
- excellent quality
- wide significance within its genre
- awareness of international trends in its field
All other factors being equal, the committee is looking for something that shifts the conversation substantially in the area covered by the book.
Recipients are encouraged to accept this award in person at the annual CAMWS business meeting.

CPL Award for Outstanding Promotional
Activity in the Schools
To support programs and activities in primary and secondary schools, the

CAMWS Travel Grant for High School Groups
CAMWS Travel Grants for High School Groups are designed for high school teachers who want to take their students on a trip to an excavation, exhibit or historic site(s) that both enhances their learning experience and furthers their interest in Classical Studies. The grant supports both domestic and international travel.
Requests for funds up to $2000 may be submitted, but every effort will be made to share these resources in smaller amounts among as many schools as possible.
Proposals should include a budget, the dates of the projected trip and a detailed description of the planned activities, including a time line; proposals for support of participation in an excavation should include a letter from the excavation director detailing the students’ responsibilities.
Upon their return recipients of a CPL Travel Grant are required to provide documentation of their participation in the originally proposed activity, a brief report on the outcomes of the travel, including issues that may have occurred and that may be considered by the grant committee in the future, and a summary of this activity, including photographs, for publication in the CAMWS newsletter and on the website for the grant.
Award payments will be made only after this report is submitted.
Applications for the CPL Travel Grant for High School Groups may be submitted by high school teachers who hold a current individual membership in CAMWS.
Applications will be reviewed in two groups. The deadline for consideration for fall requests is
September 30, and the deadline for spring and summer requests is
January 30.

Award amounts cover program costs (tuition, basic room and board) as per the AAR and ASCSA summer school or other program web sites.
Airfare and other transportation expenses are excluded.
The

- holds a teaching position in Greek or Latin in an elementary or secondary school within CAMWS territory (camws.org/about/map.php); or
- is enrolled as a graduate student in a degree-granting Classics program within CAMWS territory (camws.org/about/map.php).
CAMWS members teaching at or students at a school outside CAMWS territory are eligible to apply for these awards if their schools are current institutional members of CAMWS (

CAMWS Excavation / Field School Awards
The Classical Association of the Middle West and South annually awards three $2000.00 scholarships for participation in summer excavation or field school at an archaeological site in the Greco-Roman world. These awards may support individuals engaged in any stage of the work, including physical excavation, illustration, digital recording, faunal and ceramic analysis. One of these awards is named in honor of former CAMWS president Peter Knox of Case Western University. Generally, one award will be made to at least one graduate student and another to an undergraduate, but teachers at all levels of instruction are also eligible for this award. Professional archaeologists are not eligible for this award.
To be eligible for this award, one must be a current member of CAMWS who either
- holds a teaching position in Greek or Latin in an elementary, secondary school or university within CAMWS territory
- is enrolled as an undergraduate or graduate student in a degree-granting program in Classics or who is enrolled in a program in History, Art History, Anthropology or Archaeology with a primary academic focus on the Greco-Roman world.
While priority will be given to applicants who have not had previous excavation experience in the Greco-Roman world, applicants returning to the field are also encouraged to apply.
Please note that this application requires letters of recommentation. It would be wise for applicants to discuss this with prospective recommenders early and warn them about this due date.
Recipients are encouraged to accept the award in person at the annual CAMWS business meeting and are expected to submit a written, illustrated report for the CAMWS Newsletter.
Note: An individual who wins this archaeology fieldwork award cannot also receive a
Semple, Grant Award or Benario Award from CAMWS in the same year.
Please note that an individual cannot accept this award from CAMWS if he or she receives another award or scholarship for this fieldschool and the combined amount of these awards would be more than the cost of the fieldschool.

Faculty-Undergraduate Collaborative Research Projects
The CAMWS Undergraduate Awards Sub-Committee annually awards up to two research grants supporting collaborative research between a faculty member and an undergraduate. These awards can be for up to $1,000 each. Applications are due by
December 6th every year.
Guidelines:
These awards are intended to support faculty research collaborations in Classics (any sub-discipline) with undergraduate students. Faculty-student pairs may be from institutions with graduate programs, but the student involved must be in an undergraduate.
Applications should include statements from the faculty and student researchers outlining the nature of the project, giving a prospective timeline for the project, an account of the respective responsibilities and intellectual contributions of faculty member and student, as well as a budget indicating how the money will be spent (the award covers such expenses as books, supplies, and travel for the student but not honoraria). The application should also indicate whether the project is receiving support from the applicant’s home institution. Finally the application should describe what the research pair envisages the nature of the final product to be, and what contribution it is intended to make to the field. We encourage presentation of the projects at a future CAMWS meeting. The faculty member participating in this project must be a current CAMWS member at the time of application. The undergraduate does not. If awarded the grant, the undergraduate will receive a complimentary membership in CAMWS for the year of the grant.
A final report is due to the CAMWS office at the end of the project (no later than a semester after the receipt of the award). The report is to include statements by both student and faculty as well as a summary report about the money spent. Any funds remaining are to be returned to CAMWS after the final report is submitted.
The award of up to $1000 will be paid to the Department or a suitable institutional office. The contribution of the faculty member will also be recognized by CAMWS (on CAMWS website, program, and by a letter sent to the faculty member’s chair).
Manson A. Stewart Undergraduate Awards
The Manson A. Stewart Undergraduate Award is named after Prof. Manson A. Stewart, who taught Classics at Yankton College in South Dakota from 1909 until 1948. This award was established as part of a bequest by his wife, Ruth Reed Stewart.
The award, originally a scholarship paid to the undergraduate student’s instutution to cover tuition, is now paid directly to the student as a recognition of academic achievement and potential in the study of Classics.
Teachers of undergraduate students are invited to nominate their most outstanding young Classicists for the CAMWS Manson Stewart Undergraduate Awards. Every year CAMWS makes $1,000.00 awards (accompanied by a one-year membership in CAMWS) to a limited number of undergraduate students majoring in Classics at the sophomore or junior level at a CAMWS college or university. Nominees are expected to take a minimum of two courses in Latin or Greek (normally at least one per quarter or semester) during the junior or senior year in which the award is made.
Students are to be nominated by a department or program; no institution may nominate more than two students per year. The individual who fills out the nomination form on behalf of the department must be an individual member of CAMWS. Each nominee must fill out an application form, write a brief essay, and submit a college or university transcript and two letters of recommendation. Those who write the two letters of recommendations do not need to be CAMWS members. Applicants will indicate on their application the academic purpose for which they intend to use this award money (e.g., tuition, books, academic travel, etc.).
Nominations must be received by
January 6, 2020.
If you represent a department wishing to nominate a student, you can do so by completing this
on-line nomination form.
Applications must be received on-line by January 30, 2020.
Please note that a student can receive this award only once.
The recipients of these awards are announced at the annual business meeting.
CAMWS Award for Outstanding Accomplishment

Presidential Award for Outstanding Graduate Student Paper
The Presidential Award for the Outstanding Graduate Student Paper is given at the Annual Meeting. Eligible are graduate students whose paper is accepted on the program and who will not have received their Ph.D. by the time it is read. The full text of the oral talk is submitted in advance of the meeting and an ad hoc committee selects the winner. The award (with a prize of $200 plus a one-year membership in the
Society for Classical Studies) is presented at the annual business meeting.
There are two criteria for evaluation: (1) the quality of the scholarly argument, including the importance of the topic, the originality of the treatment, and demonstrated familiarity with scholarship; (2) indication of an effective oral presentation, based on the quality of the writing, overall organization, and interest to an audience. Any graduate student whose abstract has been accepted by the program committee may submit a complete text of the paper for consideration for this award.
The paper submitted for this award should be in the form actually to be delivered at the meeting (not a longer seminar paper on which the CAMWS paper is based). The paper should include a cover page with the following information: title of the paper, name of graduate student, academic affiliation and email address. Please do not submit a handout. All quotations should be included in the body of the paper and a bibliography provided at the end.
Those wishing to be considered for this award at the upcoming CAMWS meeting should submit their completed paper electronically to the
CAMWS President at

The Meadows School (Las Vegas, NV)
Thanks to a generous CPL Travel Grant from CAMWS a group of 40 enthusiastic JCL students from the middle and upper schools at The Meadows School visited the
King Tut: Treasures of the Golden Pharaoh exhibit at the California Science Center on Friday November 30th. The visit was a big hit with the students, many of whom had learned about the famous boy-pharaoh during their 6th-grade ancient history unit at The Meadows School. In fact they were so engrossed in the exhibit that they mistakenly believed that they could not take photos of any of the artefacts, but—thankfully—I snapped this picture of them just before we all entered the California Science Center, as well as some photos of the artefacts. This visit was a great way for the students to refresh their knowledge of King Tut. It also allowed them to expand that information with a greater appreciation of ancient Egyptian burial customs, beliefs about the afterlife, and the vast array of material wealth interred with even a relatively unimportant pharaoh. On behalf of myself, my colleague Dr. Thomas Garvey, and our ardent JCL students I would like to extend once again our appreciation to CAMWS for their award of a CPL Travel Grant.

Karilyn Sheldon
Concord Academy (Concord, MA)
Thanks to the generosity of CAMWS and the Committee for the Promotion of Latin, four students from Concord Academy received funds to support their travel and tuition costs for an archaeological field school held by the Caladinho Archaeological Project. The field school, which lasted three weeks in Redondo, in the Alentejo region of Portugal, gave these students unparalleled experience to work alongside professional archaeologists, college students, and graduate students from around the world to excavate a first century BCE Roman fortified structure (
fortin). These students not only learned systematic excavation methods but also learned how to process and analyze ancient artifacts — from ceramics to numismatics. In fact, some of the most exciting finds this year were coins; below you’ll see the Concord Academy students with their first coin discovered — a bronze coin from Celsa, Hispania with the head of Augustus! This coin alone made my students giddy with glee, elated to be able to touch a coin that perhaps last touched the hands of a Roman soldier over two thousand years ago. It was in this moment that years of studying history, toiling over declensions, and just a few days in the dirt became truly worth it for them.
While weekday mornings were spent excavating, the Concord Academy students who worked on the Caladinho Archaeological Project this summer balanced work with play by traveling to two ancient Roman cities. In Évora, Portugal, students stood at the steps of a Roman temple and wandered through the local archaeological museum and in Mérida, Spain, students stood before one of the largest extant Roman theaters and delivered impromptu soliloquies, pretended to be lions in the amphitheater’s animal cages, and wandered the gardens in the portico behind the ancient public complex. In conjunction with other field trips to Monsaraz, Rocha da Mina, Évoramonte, and Vila Viçosa, and traditional meals at local restaurants after work and for dinner each day, our students were able to gain an authentic cultural experience and come to understand what modern daily life in the Alentejo is like, as well.
Rather than continuing to describe the three week adventure myself, I’ll defer to my students. Michaela Trieloff (Class of 2019) reflected fondly on her newfound appreciation for the archaeological process this year: “...Before taking trowel and pickaxe to dirt, we took out tape measures and such and put pen to paper, drawing and documenting the shape and various points of altitude of the layer - documentation before destruction. However, the destruction portion that followed was definitely the most enjoyable...it led me to discover a coin - objectively epic.” Eric Yoon (Class of 2020) wrote in his postseason reflection: “Work on site was everything I hoped for. I got to excavate real Roman and prehistoric pottery alongside professional archaeologists and I couldn’t have asked for more....All in all, the trip was nothing short of incredible. Everyone who was there was amazing in their own ways and impacted me individually. And for that, I would like to thank them and most of all you for allowing me to be a part of such a fun crew.”
The above testaments are just two of four that reveal the profound impact a summer under the golden Alentejan sun had on a small group of high schoolers. Thank you, CAMWS, for helping me to transform and enrich the lives of my students from Concord Academy. Your funds gave them all an invaluable, fragmented glimpse into the ancient past and, most importantly, the opportunity to begin to piece it together themselves.

Saint Andrews Episcopal School (Austin TX)
Lauren Dill and I traveled with eighteen students to Italy this summer for seventeen days of exploring sites near Vesuvius and in the city of Rome, with a final two days in Tuscany. During the trip, we witnessed incredible growth in our students both intellectually and personally.
Receiving the CAMWS Travel Grant allowed us to add enriching experiences that enabled students to better visualize the ancient Roman world, such as our special tour at Ostia Antica. As one of our students wrote, “How better for us to rediscover a still partially intact town than with the TV star and archaeologist Darius Arya. He took us through some main attractions like the theater, shopping area, and bakery, but also showed us some hidden gems like an apartment building, a private home with plumbing, and a beautiful mosaic! Our trip through history showed us what a typical Roman town would’ve looked like, what they would’ve done on a typical day, and how much walking they did in one day!”
We were also able to see the Forum of Caesar and Augustus light shows and visit Nero’s Domus Aurea, which brought ancient Rome to life with projections and virtual reality. Our students are still talking about what they learned from both. One student wrote about the Forum of Caesar show, “It’s really cool to see where the Romans walked and lived but sometimes hard to imagine. That’s why the light show was so cool! Not only were we in Caesar’s forum, but we also got to see the forum how it was meant to be seen. We walked through the tunnels underneath…. We learned about how many times the neighborhood was destroyed to build, dig, or renovate. We walked into the forum from behind the Temple of Venus…. We kept walking past the fountain to learn about the shops. They were used by bankers to keep wills, weigh money, and more. We got to see what these shops looked like through the lights on the walls. Before the bankers, these alcoves were schools. We read their graffiti about the
Aeneid and saw how kids loved and hated teachers. We also looked at the bathrooms, more columns, the Curia, and more. The lights really illuminated how much we know about Rome and how much there is to learn.”
Using the virtual reality headsets in the Domus Aurea, we saw students connecting what we see today in Rome with what was there during the first century A.D. “The Domus Aurea [was] one of my favorite parts of the trip.... It not only gives you a sense of just how much people and resources the Romans had at their disposal to build a building like that but also how easily said building could… be buried underneath something else,” wrote one student.
We are so grateful for this additional funding from CAMWS for our trip to Italy. Being able to have these experiences at archaeological sites aided our students’ understanding of the ancient world and helped them to see connections between ancient and modern cities.

Semple Award
Eduardo García-Molina
“Parece que tienen alma las piedras de Grecia. Son modestas, y como amigas del que las ve. Se entran como amigas por el corazón. Parece que hablan.”
“The stones of Greece appear to have souls. They are modest and are like friends to those who see them. They enter through the heart like friends. They appear to be speaking.”
(Martí, José, and Fryda Schultz de Mantovani.
La Edad De Oro
. Buenos Aires: Editorial Raigal, 1953.)
Jose Martí’s words perfectly encapsulate, I believe, my initial reaction to Greece and the bevy of experiences I had during the six weeks of the ASCSA summer session. It is my hope that in this brief blurb I can sketch a rough picture of this trip, the people in my group, and, of course, my gratitude towards CAMWS for making this journey possible.
Parroting Pausanias, we began our intrepid trek in Attika. Our coterie was composed of a motley crew of graduate students, undergraduates, and teachers under the direction of Matthew Sears. Bonds were immediately formed, smelted in the unrelenting Greek heat and forged by ambulatory toil. Such physical exertion, however, was quickly forgotten as we were led around the Agora by John Camp and through the National Museum by Olga Palagia. The initial climb to the Akropolis, never mired by the throng of tourists, affirmed my fascination with antiquity and the relevance of our field in a moment of realization that I thought was only possible in contrived movie plots.

Our first major expedition was Crete. Heraklion was particularly notable not only for the wonderful museum, but also the food. In a scene that seemed to be a parody of the dinner sequence in Beauty and the Beast, we were treated to a Cretan culinary tour de force of fresh seafood. Our days were filled with visits to Minoan sites, competitive goat-counting during bus rides, and beaches the likes of which I have not witnessed outside of Puerto Rico. One standalone moment for me was a small side-excursion I had with another groupmate to the Gorge of the Dead, a surreal ravine both in terms of its natural beauty and the Minoan burial sites that dotted its steep faces. Another day, we went to Gortyn and saw its famed law code. That night, we settled in Matala and enjoyed the soulful twangs of “Hotel California” that concert speakers were blaring and bouncing off of the cave-dotted cliffs.
Once we were back in Attika, we were treated to a tour of the Akropolis museum spearheaded by Jenifer Neils and Alan Shapiro. The following day, we went to the fortress of Eleutherai to witness a peculiar Boeotian inscription that could only be seen during a narrow timeframe (à la Indiana Jones). In that same day trip, we went to Aigosthena and swam close to a tower originally constructed by Demetrios Poliorketes after visiting Eleusis and sitting within the Telesterion. Notably, I also experienced my first earthquake ever while doing laundry in Loring Hall.
Our second expedition was to the Peloponnese. I have never been more thankful for the invention of the automobile than when we faced the climb up the Akrokorinth. The view that the fortification afforded was awe-inspiring and it was clear to see why this location was one of the famed fetters of Greece that Philippos V pined for in his gamble to dominate the mainland. We proceeded to Korinthos proper where Christopher Pfaff and Ioulia Tzonou-Herbst showed us the current excavations. We eagerly took the opportunity to handle different votive offerings and curse tablets incised with acerbic, if not mildly comical, threats. We went to Nemea where, for me, the specter of Makedonian influence in mainland Greece loomed large in the background, soon to be usurped by Flamininus in his (in)famous proclamation. We climbed the slopes of Mt. Lykaion alongside David Romano and Mary Voyatzis, visited Olympia, and saw the criminally undersized statue of Polybios in Megalopolis. Our stalwart summer session strategos, Matthew Sears, led us through battlefields from the Peloponnesian War between breathtaking visits to Mycenean sites. The Peloponnesian trip ended with a wonderful night in Patras where a small group of us stopped for a drink in the middle of the road in an imaginary bar erected by a local mime.
The most gratifying leg of our journey for me, however, was the trip to Northern Greece. I gave a presentation on the battlefield of Plataia, witnessed the forlorn lion that serves as a tomb marker for the Sacred Band of Thebes, listened to Maria Liston give a fascinating presentation on battlefield wounds and osteological evidence, walked around Thermos like the Aitolians that Polybios loathed, and stopped at Actium (a highlight for me due to my fascination with Hellenistic navies). We visited the tomb of Philippos III Arrhidaios at Vergina and spent a night in Metsovo, a town nestled in the Pindos mountains.
We ended our adventure where we began, Attika. I went to the two best museums in Athens: The Epigraphic Museum (where Dr. Sears and I gushed over the Decree of Chremonides) and the Numismatic Museum with Lee Brice. A bittersweet party hosted by the American School and the lovely staff of Loring Hall was a delightful dénouement to the trip.
This has been a hard exercise for me. I still think I have not successfully conveyed not only the sheer scale of our wanderings throughout Greece and the diverse array of scholars that we had the pleasure of interacting with, but also the amazing group of friends that made the long bus rides and treks endurable and enjoyable. Once more I wish to express my gratitude to them, Matthew Sears, the ASCSA, and CAMWS for allowing me to explore the rich history of Greece for the first time in person.

Thanks to the generous support of CAMWS’ Mary A. Grant award, I was able to attend the American Academy at Rome’s Classical Summer School for six weeks this past summer. This afforded me the great opportunity to study the development of the city of Rome over time with other high school Latin teachers and graduate students. I am especially glad that I was able to attend the session under the direction of Professor Gretchen Meyers because her knowledge of Etruscan archaeology was invaluable to me. The site visits to Veii, Tarquinia, and Cerveteri were beautiful and allowed me to take many pictures for my students to include when reading accounts of early Roman history. Our Etruscan site visits were complemented by a visit to the Villa Giulia museum where I got to see one of my favorite pieces of art in person: the temple pediment depicting the Tydeus episode which I had seen a photo of in a seminar on Statius but had never seen in person. In addition to Gretchen’s specialty in Etruscan archaeology, I was grateful to have access to the community and resources at the American Academy for the summer. Liana Brent’s talk about her walk of the entire Appian Way was a highlight of our time in the classroom and it was even more fun to walk part of the Appian Way with her as our guide. I also enjoyed the opportunity to try out VR headsets to experience the Rome Reborn project to see how to bring the city of Rome into the classroom itself. It was a privilege to work with the study collection under the direction of Valentina Follo, who helped us integrate material culture into lesson plans and lectures at both the pre-collegiate and undergraduate level, and Kathy Geffcken, who gave us an introduction to the numismatic collection of the Academy and a history of the collection. I am also grateful to our assistant, Sean Tandy, whose interest in Ostrogothic Italy really filled in a gap in my own knowledge of Late Antiquity and whose crash course in Latin epigraphy was invaluable when exploring the city of Rome on my own time. I especially appreciated my time at the Academy to write and edit lesson plans while having access to the city of Rome itself and the Academy’s wonderful library collection. Most of all, my trip to the Academy this summer afforded me an opportunity to connect with other scholars and teachers while visiting sites that many people aren’t able to see on a normal visit to Rome. I am delighted to bring my experiences in Italy to my students in my classroom who can experience how vibrant the city of Rome truly is.
Maximas gratias!

Benario Award
Jessie Craft
In the winter of 2019, I applied for and won the Benario Award which funded my summer trip to participate in the Scholae Aestivae, organized and run by Roberto Carfagni of Schola Latina in Montella, Italy. Scholae Aestivae is a three week intensive Latin program in which I was only able to participate for one week. Each day is full of sessions on philosophy and ancient, Medieval, and Renaissance literature, all of which are taught in Latin (except the once a day ancient Greek language course) by some of the very best Latinists in the world. Although it may not seem like it, because they have learned to walk very lightly wherever they go, you are actually walking among giants. And while their names might not yet have reached your ears, their vast knowledge of the language, culture and history is second, perhaps, to none.
|
|
The school and the community which Scholae Aestivae creates supports your language learning process through full immersion. From the moment you rise from bed and greet your roommate in Latin and pose the ever important question
— who will shower first
— to the moment you return full of sleep but also new ideas and thoughts all swimming through your head in little Latin
scaphis, you are constantly faced with situations in which Latin is the means of communication and negotiation. As you begin networking here and there with this person and that one, it quickly becomes clear that everyone is on the same mission: to learn Latin. This is not to say people come not knowing Latin; on the contrary, you must already have some basic proficiency before coming, but everyone is there to learn the Latin they have yet to acquire along their own personal journey thus far.
Too, these same people quickly become your biggest allies in overcoming your own personal difficulties and struggles with the language. Everyone was slow to judge and quick to help if you needed or wanted it. Many of the participants were themselves teachers, so when something was not clear, they were equipped with many tried and true tools to scaffold the concept and help you understand. The instructors were also of the same caliber in terms of bridging the gap between difficult texts and comprehension, and they never shied away from participants’ search for deeper explanations or relevant thought experiments. So many excellent conversations were hashed out in class first from the natural curiosity of the questioner and then fueled by the shared curiosity of the instructor and fellow classmates. It was an unforgettable experience of true
humanitas.
The Scholae Aestivae did not just use the backdrop of the four walls of the beautiful De Marco Palace or the hotel Zia Carmela, but even those of the ancient ruins of Paestum, the location of one of our day trips. This was a special moment for me, in particular, since our primary focus was the study of the extant temples on the property and our guide led the entire tour in Latin. It seemed so fitting and harmonious to hear Latin, with the occasional recourse to ancient Greek, being used to describe the ancient monuments which once resounded with these very same languages some two millennia ago.
The results of my time there are palpable. Being pushed to use Latin in so many new ways and for such a long duration unleashed new abilities and a new confidence which I share daily with my students in class, the viewers of Magister Craft and the listeners of Legio XIII. I am deeply grateful to the committee of the Benario Award that chose me as its recipient, and
sescentas gratias ago CAMWS for their continued support of educators through the many grants they make available for teachers at all levels.
Gratias vobis iterum ago.
Optime valeatis.

Excavation / Field School Awards

Rebecca Gaborek
Poggio Civitate Archaeological Field School
I am grateful for my time spent this summer contributing to the excavations at Poggio Civitate in Murlo, Italy. Along with a diverse, multidisciplinary team of excavators—from biologists to illustrators, first-year archaeology students to seasoned professionals—we broke ground on new trenches to help answer questions about the domestic lives of the non-elite inhabitants of the site. Poggio Civitate, famous for its enormous four-winged building and mysterious destruction, also reveals tantalizing information about the less flashy but equally important aspects of Etruscan daily life: manufacturing, industrial production, and non-elite dining, to name a few.

I enjoyed shedding light on these activities while rotating between different excavation units. Each trench director offered a unique perspective on the material culture of Poggio Civitate and the importance of our work there. Their guidance quickly acclimated me to the physical demands and intellectual rewards of participating in archaeological fieldwork. Even a small piece of slag or a broken piece of terracotta could provide context for broader lines of inquiry. Although I left the excavation early due to a personal emergency, I was able to glean a solid foundation in Etruscan archaeological field methods and to gain a deep appreciation for the ancient peoples of the area.
Sifting through layers of stratigraphy and witnessing artifacts
in situ — reading excavation reports and doing my part to help produce them — has allowed me to learn about antiquity in the most thorough way possible. Becoming a member of the Poggio Civitate project has not only enriched my archaeological skills in preparation for my future as a Ph.D. student of Classical archaeology, but has also helped me to conserve a rich historical legacy. The Greco-Roman world is my passion. More than anything else, I hope to share that passion with my peers by ensuring that the archaeological record—the best testament to that world—is properly excavated, documented, and displayed for the benefit of posterity.

Olynthos Project
The 2019 field season of the Olynthos Project took place between July 1st and August 9th. During this six-week season, the main goals were to finish certain rooms in House Bix6 on the North Hill of the city, to fill in the missing gaps in the field survey area, and to complete the stratigraphy trench on the South Hill. With the help of a CAMWS Excavation Award, I was able to participate in this final excavation season of the Olynthos Project and to experience personally the accomplishment of these goals. This award allowed me to benefit from the Project both in the ways I thought I would, and in ways I did not previously expect.

The CAMWS Excavation Award afforded me an opportunity to return to the Olynthos Project as a member of the ceramics team. In the past, we spent most of our time sorting all of the ceramic material from both the excavation and the survey. The team still spent a fair amount of time doing this task. This year, however, all members of the pottery team returned from last season. This collective experience meant that we were more efficient and accurate in our sorting of the material. Because of this, we had more time to think about the material critically and to go back to older excavation material. Before the season began, I would not have guessed what this extra time meant for the understanding of the excavation and the excavation material. For example, additional trenches were opened up in one room of the house that had been previously dug in 2015. After sorting the material from the 2019 excavation, we had time to go through the 2015 material from the same area. We made multiple cross joins of vessels across contexts from both seasons. This allowed us to give valuable feedback to the supervisor who was in charge of the trench, helped us think about depositional processes, and gave us a more complete picture of the contents left in the room.
In addition, we began to analyze more closely the ceramic assemblages present in each room and to think about what the material could possibly mean. This step meant that the ceramics team could move past the simple task of sorting and towards thinking critically about the ceramic remains that were coming from the house. This exercise provided me with valuable experience that I plan on applying to my Ph.D. dissertation. For my dissertation, I am researching the domestic architecture and ceramic assemblages of Roman Greece. Although Classical Olynthos does not fall under that category, being on a project that focuses on these topics gave me the chance to realize and consider some of the issues I may also encounter in my dissertation.
The last benefit of returning to Olynthos was that there was added effort this year for participants to present other material they have studied. Sometimes this was related to Olynthos or houses, and other times it was not. One example was a presentation regarding the microdebris analysis on a settlement located on the edge of the Assyrian Empire that was occupied between 800 to 600 BCE. Although not situated in the ancient Greek world, this research greatly informed our microdebris specialist’s experience, understanding, and interpretation of the microdebris remains at Olynthos. It was beneficial to learn about different perspectives, and to actively see how these could change and expand our understanding of the excavation.
Overall, it was a successful season for both the Olynthos Project and for myself. Without a CAMWS Excavation Award, I would not have been able to participate in this season. My presence on the Project meant that I could contribute to the understanding of the excavation and of the house as a whole, that I could join conversations about domestic archaeology that relate to both House Bix6 and my own dissertation research, and that I could learn about different perspectives that form people’s interpretations of archaeological material. Although this was my fourth year on the Project, I benefitted from another year of participating in ways that I could not have predicted. Because of this experience, I grew as an archaeologist and scholar, which was only possible with a CAMWS Excavation Award.

GEMSTONES, TEXTILES AND A PRINCESS: PRECIOUS COMMODITIES IN HELIODORUS’
AETHIOPICA
by Anna Lefteratou
Abstract: This article examines the cultural biographies of a selection of precious objects in Heliodorus’
Aethiopica, local and exotic, and shows how the transactions in which these are involved may illuminate the commodification of the heroine. The article evolves around the export-import metaphor used to discuss precious commodities and applies it on Chariclea and her tale.
CHILDREN AND BULLYING/HARASSMENT IN GRECO-ROMAN ANTIQUITY
by Christian Laes
Abstract: Fully recognizing all the possible limitations and even objections to a historical inquiry into bullying and harassment in Antiquity, this article tackles the subject by strictly limiting the situations to be studied. It only takes into account those instances in which children or adolescents are both the agents and the victims of bullying and harassing behavior. It only looks at the interaction between children of free status. First, I study children in a stage of life in which they were largely subjected to the authority of parents and other educators. After this, the focus is on young girls, whose coming of age put them in a peculiar situation regarding harassment. Finally, student life is given due attention. In conclusion, I point out how a careful consideration of these fragments not only informs us about aspects of everyday life of young people in antiquity, but also about ancient concepts of personhood.
NEC TIBI SUFFICIAT TRANSMISSAE GLORIA VITAE OTIUM
AND AMBITION FROM STATIUS TO ENNODIUS
by Neil W. Bernstein
Abstract: Statius’
Silvae are part of a lengthy Roman literary tradition of justifying temporary or permanent retirement from public affairs in favor of the productive use of
otium. Praiseworthy uses of
otium typically involved liberal studies such as philosophy and poetic composition, pursued either during a temporary period of rest from public duties, or as the occupation of permanent retirement. This paper examines how Claudian and Sidonius adapted some aspects of Statius’
otium motifs in order to praise addressees who faced very different social and political circumstances from the Flavian era. Achilles’ seclusions at Scyros and Troy provide these poets with a mythological narrative of withdrawal and return. The paper concludes with discussion of Ennodius’ adaptation of Statius’ motifs in the unexpected context of an
epithalamium.
THE SUBJECTS OF SLAVERY IN 19TH-CENTURY AMERICAN LATIN SCHOOLBOOKS
by Denise Eileen McCoskey
Abstract: A new study by the Southern Poverty Law Center has argued that American education is failing in its ability to teach “hard history,” and especially the history of American slavery, to today’s students. In similar ways, Erik Robinson has recently highlighted the difficulty that high school Latin teachers often face teaching certain “horrors” of the ancient world like slavery in their classrooms. Both Robinson and the SPLC call particular attention to the role of textbooks in such failings. In this article I want to share some results of a survey I conducted on the representation of slavery in American Latin schoolbooks from the 19th century. I use these textbooks, and in particular a close reading of student exercises contained within them, to shed light on the problematic ways slavery is presented in today’s books. While I certainly do not seek to “praise” or rationalize the often brutal depictions of slavery in 19th-century schoolbooks, I believe they show a portrayal of slavery that is revealing in its frankness, one that, even through a lens of fear and paranoia, acknowledges the agency and experience of the slave. Such a contrast allows us to “de-naturalize” the ways that slavery is shown in many current Latin textbooks, to understand that the tendency of today’s textbooks to conceal the brutality of slavery behind a bland inoffensiveness (to whom?) is every bit as ideological in its operations and outcomes as grappling with its darkness.

CAMWS Podcasts
At its 2019 meeting in Lincoln, the CAMWS Executive Committee approved a new initiative of the History Committee to create an open library of podcasts on CAMWS topics. The plan is to produce about twelve podcasts per year, based on a mixture of pre-recorded content (e.g., CAMWSCorps interviews, ovationes, presidential addresses) and live interviews with a variety of CAMWS members (e.g., award-winners, officers, committee chairs, presenters) in order to advertise upcoming meetings, to invite applications for awards and scholarships, to encourage discussion of important issues, to commemorate the lives of deceased members of the Association.
For this purpose the Executive Committee has approved the creation of a CAMWS podcaster position. A job description for this position is posted at
https://camws.org/podcaster. The podcaster serves ex-officio as a member of the History Committee.
We are pleased to welcome Sam Kindick of the University of Colorado Boulder as CAMWS Podcaster. Sam is a Ph.D. candidate in the department of Classics, where he works on Latin epic and elegiac poetry, especially the works of Ovid. Before coming to CU, he earned MAs in both Classics (Florida State University) and Medieval History (Saint Louis University). On campus he’s served as the President of the Classics Graduate Colloquium, as a Lead Instructor for the Graduate Teacher Program and as the Lead Student Technology Consultant.
CAMWS Podcasts can be found here:
https://camws.org/podcast. On this page several podcasts have already been posted. The earliest is a CAMWSCorps interview of the late
Consularis
James Ruebel of Ball State University by graduate student Krishni Burns of the University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign This podcast was created by Scott Lepisto at Grand Valley State University. In the second CAMWSCorps podcast, graduate student Sarah Titus of the University of Washigton interviews
Eleanor Winsor Leach of Indiana University, who passed away in 2018. In this podcast Leach’s former students, Davina McClain and Zoe Barnett discuss their memories of her. This podcast was created by Sam Kindick. In the most recent podcast, CAMWS podcaster Sam Kindick interviews
Andrew C. Johnston of Yale University as a recipient of a
2019 CAMWS First Book Prize for
The Sons of Remus: Identity in Roman Gaul and Spain (Harvard University Press, 2017) at the 115th CAMWS meeting in Lincoln, Nebraska. Sam plans, in the near future, to post a podcast on Tom Keeline of Washington University of St. Louis (the other 2019 First Book Award book winner). He also plans episodes on Lauri Reitzammer, who won the college teaching award, and on Birmingham and the Samford Classics Department in anticipation of the 2020 meeting.

FEIC General Assembly 2019: Synopsis
Alden Smith, CAMWS Delegate to FIEC
The General Assembly of the Fédération internationale des associations des études classiques (FIEC) was held in coordination with the meeting of Britain’s Classical Association from July 4-8, 2019 in London. FIEC is the international umbrella classical association that unites the various different professional associations such as SCS and CAMWS. This report offers a brief synopsis of the formal assembly meeting.
In that gathering, after the normal procedural items, new members were admitted to FIEC, including the American Classical League. In addition, out-going long-serving and steadfast president Franco Montanari made some very warm remarks about the value of FIEC and the classics as a discipline, and his years of service to both. The outgoing general secretary, Paul Schubert also made important remarks about the role of FIEC in the discipline as the principal uniting body that helps to facilitate badly needed interaction between various branches of classics. It is, moreover, a watchdog organization, aiding wherever possible to preserve the study of classics.
After these remarks and various other business items, including strong reports on the status of L’Année Philologique and on the progress of the TLL (Letters ‘R’ and ‘N’ are in progress), a particularly important item emerged: the inclusion of Latin and Greek on the UNESCO Cultural Heritage List; it passed unanimously, and a separate announcement has been issued by CAMWS about this, available on our website.
Elections were also held: the incoming president will be Gunhiud Vidén (Sweden) and the secretary general, Sabine Huebner (Switzerland); the new treasurer will be Valérie Fromentin (France). President Vidén made some final remarks expressing her own heartfelt thanks to Professors Montanari and Schubert.
In sum, FIEC’s importance to classics and the relevance of CAMWS’ participation as a member of FIEC cannot be overstated. In that regard, the level of cross-cultural cooperation evidenced by all the delegates was, to my mind, one of the tenderest and richest aspects of the FIEC meeting—our discipline at its best. The next FIEC general assembly will be in 2022 in Mexico City at the invitation of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México.

University of Virginia Announces Bridge to the Doctorate Fellowship
|
|
As part of its commitment to diversifying the graduate student body and the field more generally, the Department of Classics at the University of Virginia seeks to support students from groups that are underrepresented in our discipline and who have not yet received sufficient training and research experience to prepare them for admission to doctoral programs. The Graduate School of Arts & Sciences at the University of Virginia is accepting applications to join the first cohort of
Bridge to the Doctorate Fellows for enrollment in Fall 2020. The Bridge Fellowship is a fully funded two-year program assisting gifted and hard-working students in Classics to acquire research and language skills needed to pursue a Ph.D. in Classics. The Fellowship is geared exclusively to assist the professional and personal development of the Fellow, and as such it comes without teaching responsibilities. Fellows will receive $24,000 per year in living support and full payment of their tuition, and fees, and single-person coverage in the University’s student health insurance plan for a period of two years.
Our Bridge program provides two full years of fellowship support without teaching responsibilities for students to enroll in a combination of courses, guided research opportunities and UVA’s intensive graduate student professional development curriculum known as “Ph.D. Plus.” Each Bridge fellow will work individually with faculty to develop a customized academic plan that will identify opportunities for additional disciplinary training, enable them to cultivate writing and research skills specific to their chosen field of expertise, and develop a competitive portfolio for applying to doctoral programs. Predicated on a student’s strong and sustained performance during the Bridge Fellowship, the Department of Classics is committed either to admitting qualified Fellows directly into the Ph.D. program following the successful completion of the Fellowship or to assist Fellows with their applications to other Ph.D. programs. The M.A. may be awarded upon the successful completion of the Departmental M.A. requirements (
http://classics.as.virginia.edu/requirements-exams-reading-lists).
Prerequisites and Criteria
Applicants for the Bridge Fellowship should have completed
two years of college level training in one of the ancient languages (Latin or Greek), and preferably one year in the other. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
In case of queries and for more information about the Bridge Fellowship in Classics, please contact: Coulter George (
chg4n@virginia.edu).

The
American School of Classical Studies at Athens was founded in 1881 to provide American graduate students and scholars a base for their studies in the history and civilization of the Greek world. Today it is still a teaching institution, providing graduate students a unique opportunity to study firsthand the sites and monuments of Greece. The School is also a superb resource for students and senior scholars pursuing research in many fields ranging from prehistoric to modern Greece, thanks to its internationally renowned libraries, the Blegen, focusing on all aspects of Greece from its earliest prehistory to late antiquity, and the Gennadius, which concentrates on the medieval to modern Greek world, as well as the Malcolm H. Wiener Laboratory for Archaeological Sciences.

Dear colleagues,
In summer 2018, the National Humanities Alliance launched
Humanities for All, with the support of The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, to document and promote publicly engaged humanities research, teaching, preservation, and programming in U.S. higher education. The initiative brings together over 1,500 examples, showcasing the range of humanities work conducted with and for communities by scholars at universities, colleges, and scholarly societies across the United States.
To keep pace with the growth and increasing diversity of publicly engaged work across the humanities, we are writing to invite recommendations of work to include in the Humanities for All website.
If you are aware of publicly engaged research, teaching, preservation, or programming that should be included in Humanities for All, we would be grateful if you submitted its information at:
We thank you in advance for joining us in this important work of supporting public engagement in the humanities.
