Adler Memorial Lecture: Cicero and the Liberal Arts for Civics

Sponsored by:
Classics & Classical Studies and Political Science

Jed Atkins, Director and Dean; Professor of Civic Life and Leadership, School of Civic Life and Leadership, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

This lecture explores the relationship between civic education and the liberal arts by turning to the first writer to have used the term “liberal arts”: the Roman philosopher, rhetorician, and stateman Cicero. A study of Cicero’s work reveals challenges and opportunities for offering a liberal arts education with a substantial civic dimension.

Remixing the dictionary: Logeion and other adventures in Digital Classics

Sponsored by:
Classics & Classical Studies
At the beginning of a new academic year, I want to reflect on how Logeion and other digital tools can be used in reading and learning Greek and Latin. I will show how different resources are integrated into Logeion, how others can be accessed from it, and how we try to make Logeion a tool, not just for reading with less friction, but also for learning and researching the languages.    Helma Dik Department of Classics University of Chicago
