Seminars
Every June the Sunoikisis faculty gather at the Center for Hellenic Studies (CHS) in Washington, D.C. to develop the upcoming year’s courses. They hold two 4-day seminars, one for the Greek course and another for the Latin course. The faculty also invite an expert in the subject area to participate in the course planning and to inform the faculty’s reading of primary source materials.
Application and Program Information
Participants will receive a $500 stipend. The CHS will provide housing and board. Participants or their sponsoring institutions will be responsible for the costs of travel to and from the CHS.
Participation in each seminar will be limited to ten faculty members. The seminar will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis, with the following priorities. Those who will be offering the course for undergraduates at their institutions in the fall following the seminar will receive priority. Second priority will go to new faculty members, i.e., those who are emerging from graduate programs to take up their first teaching posts. Those who have never attended a seminar sponsored by Sunoikisis will receive third priority.
Upcoming Seminar
Check back for more information about the Greek and Latin course development seminars on June 9-18, 2012. The courses are Homeric Poetry and Latin Literature from the Medieval Period and Late Antiquity. Prof. Richard Martin will be the Greek consultant; the Latin consultant will be announced in the spring.
