Really excited for my @aclclassics.bsky.social talk that was just accepted for the June Institute: "Trust the Text: Adventures in Linear Reading."

Hoping it will be hybrid so you can participate even if you aren't in Williamsburg! Yes, YOU!

Any suggestions for Latin examinations that go beyond translation/grammar commentary/content analysis?
#TeachAncient (do we still use this hashtag??)

'Herbacides' is one of the #English words that you are going to pronounce wrong in your mind if you are a Classicist.

Our AI Workshop for People Who Hate AI is tomorrow!!! I promise @apistone.bsky.social and I won't spend *too much* time ranting about the AHA's new guidelines. Don't forget to register! #TeachAncient

So excited that the NEH has funded
Leigh Anne Lieberman & my application for a summer 2026 institute on digital literacies and methods in ancient Mediterranean studies research and teaching! Stay tuned for more!!

📣 Calling all little Ancient Historians and their grown ups!
The BMCA’s Athena’s Owls 🦉 will be a Greek Myth Forest School for May, June and July! Oonagh has created a brilliant set of sessions to explore ancient myths in Birmingham’s Cotteridge Park #teachancient #myth #greekmyth #forestschool

I have created an account @wustltextiles.bsky.social to document my course this semester in ancient textile production. Follow along to check out our readings, discussions, and above all our studio work! #AncientTextiles #TeachAncient 🏺

Anybody know an accessible (for undergrads) and accurate chapter/article on ancient Greek clothing? It feels like the only places these exist are in 100 yo history of costume books that cover every era and are specialists in none... #AncientBlueSky #TeachAncient #Textiles

Ok, #TeachAncient, who wants to plug some really great Classical Reception scholarship that you've been reading (or writing yourself)? Bonus points if it's undergrad-friendly! I've left too much of my receptions class as "TBD," and I need to fill in the blanks with some new stuff!

re-upping for classics #TeachAncient #LatinTeach folks in case anyone knows of a tool. I'd like to compare vocab from two different authors, & maybe even Latin word frequency lists.

Ok y'all, enough people are #OverHere now that maybe I can post questions on this site like I did in the bad place: anybody teach a graduate pedagogy seminar in Classics? Do you have advice or a syllabus to share? Which programs have a bona fide pedagogy class? #TeachAncient

Situationist Latin update: 4 of my 3rd year Latin lit students joined me on an options dérive on campus. We talked about spatial and disciplinary hierarchy, community-making, commercial space in the university, & urban spatial practices and student/architectural identity…

Recommendations for a good and accessible translation of the Passion of #Perpetua? My Latin class won't have time to read much of the Latin, but I do want them to read the whole thing in English. I've not taught it in translation in 12 years at least. #TeachAncient #LatinTeach

Recommendations for a pub on Roman calendar, student accessible?
Looking at R. Hannah’s 2013 Greek and Roman Calendars. #TeachAncient 🏺

Writing a second lecture on Petronius and trying not to get into a tangent about similarities and differences between Cena Trimalchionis and The Menu (2022).

Working my way through my grading backlog, and my students' thoughtful, wonderful responses to this article from our week on Greek philosophy made me get up and hug my husband. #TeachAncient #Classics #ClassicsTwitter #AncMedWorld #AncMedTwitter...

#Archaeogaming #TeachAncient Has anyone used a video game playthrough as a supplement for a Latin language course to illustrate culture, history, etc.? Even if not, any recommendations on a video game that a Latin teacher could play on stream for his students? Asking for a friend

#TeachAncient Are there any undergrad-level Latin teachers in my Twitter circle who teach on a 2x a week schedule? e.g., TTh for 75 minutes each, versus MWF for 50 minutes each? If so, could I steal a peek at one of your syllabi to see how you handle the course structure?

#TeachAncient Does anyone have a suggestion for an undergrad-(non-major)-friendly reading on the practices and the social implications of the symposium? Any angle (class, masculinity, femininity, entertainment, etc.) works. The reading I've been using just isn't ... exciting.

Latin teachers at the undergraduate level, who are your current go-to prose or poetry authors for intermediate Latin, for a class of both students with high school experience and those coming up through your school's intro sequence? #TeachAncient

Teachers, particularly those in languages or literature, if you use slideshows in class, what platform do you use to create and present yours? I'm trying to decide on one for this fall, having used (and struggled with) them all, and I'm pretty indecisive. #TeachAncient

#TeachAncient #ClassicsTwitter #AncMedTwitter Does anyone have a one-semester undergraduate intensive Latin syllabus that they'd be willing to share with me? Trying to get a sense of what folks feel is utterly essential in one semester of Latin instruction. Thank you!

#Classics #ClassicsTwitter #TeachAncient Does anyone have suggestions for undergraduate-friendly readings that deal with the ethical implications of the Melian Dialogue or the destruction of the Sicilian Expedition? Looking for readings for Thucydides week in my Greek civ course.

#TeachAncient #Classics #ClassicsTwitter #AncMedWorld I like to begin in-translation courses first day with an image that students can pick apart and use to start learning about cultural values and ideals. What object or image would you use in a Greek civ, 101 type course? 1/2

#Classics #ClassicsTwitter #TeachAncient Do you have any favorite works of [public] scholarship (blog posts, Eidolon articles, etc.) that discuss language learning (either the process or its goals) or even specific features of language, like verb mood or noun gender?

#Classics #ClassicsTwitter #TeachAncient Which ancient Greek verbs *from your experience* would you say memorization (or constant reference) of all six principal parts has benefited you the most? Interested to see if frequency lists match up with lived experiences.

#Classics #ClassicsTwitter #TeachAncient Those who have taught undergraduate Greek seminars, what do you sense is the right amount of reading to aim for per class period? We're tackling Daphnis and Chloe this fall and I'm gauging whether we can read all 147 chapters in 1 sem.

#Classics #ClassicsTwitter #TeachAncient Any recs on how to teach the Greek third declension without getting unnecessarily granular about the diffs between labial, velar, etc., stems? Is it a matter of teaching about sound combos (π + σ = ψ, etc.) before getting to that point?

#Classics #ClassicsTwitter #TeachAncient There are lots of great mnemonics and memory tricks for learning Latin (e.g. present endings to the tune of the Mickey Mouse song, shE wEArs A dIAmond tIAra), but does anyone have fun ones for Ancient Greek?

#Classics #ClassicsTwitter #TeachAncient Long shot, but does anyone have a PDF version of Byrne and Cueva's reader of Longus' Daphnis and Chloe? My copy is down in Jersey, and I won't be able to get to it to reacquaint myself with it before book orders are due this week ...
