The Board of Directors of the Society for Classical Studies is pleased to give its 2015 President’s Award to Jason Pedicone and Eric Hewett, co-founders of the Paideia Institute, for their work in significantly advancing public appreciation and awareness of classical antiquity.
The États Généraux of 1789, brought together the three "estates," the nobility, the clergy, and oi polloi, at a moment of political crisis. The meeting held in Paris on Feb. 28th was organized by l'APLAES (Association des Professeurs de Langues Anciennes de l'Enseignement Supérieur) and SOPHAU (Société des Professeurs d'Histoire Ancienne de l'Université), and the University of Franche-Conté at what has been perceived as a moment of crisis in our discipline.

The Program Committee has approved a proposal to offer a seminar at the 2015 Annual Meeting in New Orleans. Full details of this session appears below. Seminars are intended to provide an opportunity for extensive discussion of the papers to be presented. To this end attendance at the seminars will be limited, and the speakers in these sessions have been asked to make their papers available by the end of November so that registrants who attend the sessions can read them in advance. Each will present only a brief summary of his or her paper at the session itself.
The Society for Classical Studies is delighted to begin its annual meeting in New Orleans with a very special performance: Antigonick, a version of Antigone by world-renowned poet/playwright Anne Carson (An Oresteia, Autobiography of Red, If Not, Winter: Fragments of Sappho). The performance will begin at 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 8, 2015, and the public is welcome to attend at no charge.
Here are the opening lines:
Antigone: we begin in the dark
and birth is the death of us
Ismene: who said that
Antigone: Hegel
Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (code MSY) is located approximately 13 miles from the Annual Meeting hotels.
