What is Classics?
Saturday, January 5, 6:15-7:30pm
San Diego Marriott Marquis at the Marina
Marriott Grand Ballroom 9
This lecture is free and open to the public.
What do we mean by Classics now? Why should we study the ancient Greeks and Romans (and other ancient cultures)? How do we think through its apparently reactionary heritage?
This lecture goes back through the 150 year history of the SCS in an attempt to give an optimistic view of the future of the past.
