About the Event

It has long been the perception that elitism and privilege are associated with an education in the Classics. As a result, modern misogynists love to quote episodes from ancient history, and white supremacists are currently engaged in the cultural appropriation of Latin and classical antiquity in order to justify their objectives. Simply put, the study of Classics is suffering from an image problem, and it is time that dedicated anti-racist teachers and advocates push back.

This panel of four incredible educators aims to demonstrate how they, as teachers of classical languages and humanities, are working to present language and culture in a way that promotes respect, leads to accurate historical perspectives, builds inter- and intra-cultural competence, and values and supports the identity and contribution of every student and colleague every day.

Moderated by Dr. Edward Zarrow, representing the National Committee on Latin and Greek (NCLG) 

This event is free of charge to all language advocates!
