ůůֱ²¥ 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, ůůֱ²¥ 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.
