Synopsis of the program:

The 2018 iteration of the CIC-CHS seminar “Ancient Greece in the Modern Classroom” will take place in Greece, from June 17 to 25, 2018. Twenty faculty members from all disciplines, who use classical texts in their teaching or plan trips for students in Greece, will visit Nafplio and the Argolid, Nemea, Pylos, Olympia, Delphi and Athens in the course of seven days. Apart from day trips to archaeological sites and museums, the participants will be involved in daily sessions and engaged with texts written by Pausanias in his Travels round Greece, as well as a selection of literary, historical, and philosophical texts connected to each site, and other works.

The CIC-CHS seminar “Ancient Greece in the Modern Classroom” is made possible through the generous support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. In 2019, the program will return to Washington DC and host twenty new faculty members in the CHS DC premises.
