Purpose: Northeast Catholic College is pleased to announce its Spring Conference with a theme of Classical Reception. This conference hopes to further the discussion of how Classical literature and civilization is received by later cultures.

Scope: This conference proposes to discuss the reception of Classical literature and civilization across disciplines. While the conference theme focuses on the reception of Classics today, any paper with the topic of Classical reception will be considered. Presenters should plan for fifteen-twenty minute papers, with a few questions to follow.

This conference is meant especially for Graduate students, but faculty and independent researchers are welcome. Undergraduate students and Highs School students are welcome to submit papers for a “future classicists” panel, papers submitted will require faculty sponsorship.

Submissions: The planning committee welcomes your abstracts for oral papers. Please send abstracts of 150- 250 words to nnewman@northeastcatholic.edu by Saturday, December 22nd for consideration. Please include pertinent contact information and institutional affiliation (if any). For High School and Undergraduate students, please include a brief letter of support from a faculty mentor.
