American Classical League Institute 2024

In this more complicated modern world, where anti-Semitism continues to be on the rise and conflict in Gaza, Israel and the broader Middle East has prompted teachers and students alike, across differing societies, to express or simply have opinions on these two intersecting challenges, our Latin classes can become spaces where we tackle these subjects through ancient texts and discussions thereof, as these topics have a history that not only goes back that far but also necessitate that we do so in order to do them justice.  In this workshop, we will explore several texts together with an eye toward how we might bring them into classrooms at all levels, from the advanced to the introductory.
