Classics M.A. students were well-represented in all aspects of the Humanities Graduate Student Symposium, which took place on Saturday, February 8th. Cassidy Robertson served as Lead Coordinator, and Madison Poole held the role of Marketing and Promotion Coordinator. Four students had the chance to present their new and ongoing research. Connor O’Rourke discussed his thesis research in a talk titled, “The Technology of Death: Identifying and Interpreting Purpose-Built Funerary Pithoi in Bronze Age Crete.” Miranda King’s talk, “Out of the Cage: Teaching with the Brock Cypriote Museum’s Collection,” considered the role of ancient objects in engaged and experiential teaching. Lucie Mackintosh brought her thesis research on translations of Homer’s Iliad to the speeches of Demosthenes with her talk, “Translation as Technology: How Modern Linguistic Choices Reinforce Ancient Trauma.” And Kathy Pye compared the imagery of Augustan coinage to modern Instagram in her talk, “Augustan Numismatic Approaches to Creating a Global Community.” Click here to find the full conference program and abstracts of the talks by graduate students across the Faculty of Humanities, as well as the keynote lecture by Elizabeth Neswald in the Department of History.
