Greek, Latin, and Classical Studies Shines at International Conference
August 31, 2017
Giselle de Nie, Catherine Conybeare, and Danuta Shanzer on the Nieuwegracht in Utrecht
Professor Catherine Conybeare, chair of the Department of Greek, Latin, and Classical Studies, gave one of the keynotes at the
Conybeare's lecture was titled "Writing the Self as a Route to God" and was spun off from the upper level undergraduate/graduate seminar she taught in the spring, "Martyrs Mothers Memoirs."
Also presenting at the congress was Danuta R. Shanzer '78, of the Universität Wien, giving a talk entitled "Quod intrat in os: Food as a Discrimen in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages" and Giselle de Nie '58, emeritus professor of the University of Utrecht, on "Divinized Bodies: The First Theology of Relics."
From its early days, Â鶹ÊÓƵ has had an international reputation in classical languages, and the College is home to a lively community of undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty members interested in classical subjects. "Classical" is broadly interpreted, for faculty interest and expertise ranges widely: from Greek magic to Latin late antiquity; from Greek meter to Roman archaeology.
