On Monday, April 11th, 2022 the Department of Classics and Archaeology at Brock University celebrated recent graduates and leaders within the Classics student community at the annual Floralia. Students honoured at the event included the Classics Peer Mentors and the CLAS Buddies (pictured here). Peer mentors are upper-year students that have volunteered their time to provide academic assistance to students in first- and second-year Classics and Archaeology courses. CLAS Buddies are senior student who offer a friendly ear and their knowledge of the Classics program and university life to help our new students. CLAS Buddies and Peer Mentors do valuable work for our student community and are a shining example of our student ethos here at Brock.

Title: Time and Temporality in Classical Greek Art
Abstract: Against the conventional formalist art history that dominated the understanding of Greek artistic styles (especially the change from the Archaic to the Classical), we will investigate an altogether different narrative for the development of Greek art from the point of view of time and temporality, seen through the lens of phenomenology.
This is a virtual event. Click here to view a copy of the poster.
