Peopling the Past (PtP) is a collaborative digital humanities project run by six archaeologists, historians, and philologists who specialize in the cultures of the ancient Mediterranean world. The goal of this initiative is to produce and host open-access multimedia resources for teaching and learning about real people in the ancient world and the real people who study them.

In the Spring 2020 semester, students in a Greek history course at the University of Minnesota engaged in a collaborative mapping project that visualized the changing geographies of the ancient Greek world.

FileMaker, Microsoft Access, and other pieces of off-the-shelf database software are popular because they make it relatively easy to create and use databases.

Chiekh Anta Diop and Theophile Obenga produced critical scholarship on the Afrikan context of Kemet (e.k.a Ancient Egypt). Diop focused on the historical and cultural connections between Kemet and other Afrikan cultures, while Obenga’s scholarship addresses the systematic connections between the Kemetic language and philosophy with its West and West-Central Afrikan counterparts. They showcased their research at the 1974 UNESCO conference on the racial identity of the Ancient Egyptians.

The pandemic brought two things into sharp focus: first, the translation model may no longer work in the COVID era classroom or any Classics classroom of the 2020s. Second, Classics courses have an underutilized power to address current issues of race, inequity, colonialism, and contemporary DEI socio-politics.

This presentation reflects upon my experiences teaching a unit on ancient pandemic narratives (e.g., Hippocrates, Thucydides, Procopius) in a course titled ‘Language and History of Medicine’ at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic during the Spring semester of 2020. I also address my work developing another course, ‘New Diseases in History and Literature’, to be taught during Spring 2021.

Teaching high school Latin during the pandemic offers us a liminal space in which to consider three worlds: the worlds of what we did, why and how we did it in the Latin classroom before, during and after the pandemic. I will offer those reflections based on the experience and collaboration of our seven person Latin team in our 3200-student public high school. While acknowledging varied experiences, viewing the pandemic in this way offers teachers a way of reflecting on educational adversity.
