The University of Winnipeg’s Department of Classics is bringing seven speakers to campus for the sixth annualNew Directions in Classicslecture series.
今年参与和加强我们的会谈special qualities that make UWinnipeg a great place to learn, work, and study.
Dr. Peter J. Miller
Over the last five years, co-organizers Dr. Peter J. Miller, Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Classics, and Ruth Dickinson (BA Hons ’18), member of the Board of Regents, have welcomed dozens of academics from around the world to Winnipeg.
This year’s series, which is sponsored by the Bonnycastle Lecture Series, Classical Association of Canada, and Society for Classical Studies, will be presented in person and also on Zoom. UWinnipeg’s Department of Modern Languages and Literature is also co-sponsoring a talk with an award-winning poet.
米勒博士说：“两年来，我们已经通过Zoom吸引了世界各地的观众，但我们很高兴将我们的系列赛带回温尼伯市中心的校园。”“首先，该系列背后的主要灵感之一是接触可能对古代历史和经典感兴趣的学生，教职员工和公众，但没有正式参与。尽管Zoom为我们提供了来自全球的大量听众，但在温尼伯这里很难吸引学生和人们。”
谈判的范围从对过去的证据进行详细分析，并告知我们对古典古代的理解，到古希腊和罗马世界如何影响后来的社会，时代和地方。
This series brings global topics and space and place to our university. Current research has allowed us to offer new ideas and broad connections through interdisciplinary learning and exploration in a whole new age of research,” Dickinson said. “Our range of topics over the past five years, and this upcoming season, have and will reveal that there is no lack of ingenuity and support for the arts and all other disciplines that are interconnected in how we learn from the past to understand our present and future. We look forward to engaging with, and being inspired by, these exceptional researchers.”
The series has been funded through the generosity of classics alumni and The University of Winnipeg Foundation’s endowedNew Directions in ClassicsFund.

“Our talks this year engage with and reinforce the special qualities that make UWinnipeg a great place to learn, work, and study,” said Dr. Miller. “(A) deep commitment to teaching as Dr. Victoria Austen will explain in her talk on WikiEducation and teaching the classics; strong research that is relevant today, such as Rebecca Futo Kennedy’s talk on classics and scientific racial theory; and a focus on world-leading and ground-breaking scholarship that is rooted in specific places and times, such as the work of Alexander Meyer and Elizabeth Greene at the Roman fort of Vindolanda.”
New Directions in Classics已成为Uwinnipeg的Marquee公开演讲之一。该系列的目标是找到在古典奖学金或当代相关性的新主题中提供新方法的演讲者，尤其是在Uwinnipeg在城市中心的位置，其在条约One领土上的位置以及其非殖民化和土著化的机构目标。
