Course announcement: ROMLING 5051
|
|
In Fall 2023, Prof. Fernando Martínez-Gil will offer ROMLING 5051: Latin and the Romance Languages on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 12:45 - 2:05 p.m. in 359 Hagerty Hall.
This course is a general introduction to the modern Romance languages, their geographical distribution within Europe and the world, their classification as varieties of a common language family, a comprehensive survey of their phonology and inflectional morphology, and how they evolved historically from Latin, their common ancestor, how they came to diverge throughout time, and how they arose as prominent global languages.
The course will focus on the five major Romance languages--French, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, and Spanish--but will also consider the history and present-day status of other minority Romance languages such as Galician, Catalan, Occitan, Franco-Provençal, and Rhaeto-Romance.

Tradition & Disruption in Latinx & Latin American Political Theory
|
|
On May 11-12, 2023, a workshop on tradition and disruption in Latinx and Latin American political theory will be held at the Center for Belonging & Social Change (Ohio Union).
The workshop will address questions and approaches that characterize the study of Latinx Political Theory in relation to Latin American thought and ongoing debates in the broader field of political theory. The dynamic will be discussion focused, so attendees are expected to have read the papers in advance.
