The 2024 UW Department of Classics Teachers Conference will include presentations from Professor Ruby Blondell discussing her new book Helen of Troy in Hollywood (Princeton 2023), and Professor Olga Levaniouk discussing comparative perspectives on women in Greek and Indic myths.
All are welcome to join us for what promises to be stimulating discussion of the enduring fascination of Greek myths. There will be ample opportunity for discussion of classroom strategies for working with Greek myths in a global and comparative perspective. We anticipate providing three clock hours.
We will meet in person on the UW campus. If you prefer to attend via Zoom, please click this link to register.
