Centering Race, Ethnicity, and Gender
In 2022 the OSU Department of Classics made two hires focused on the study of Race, Ethnicity, and Gender (Harriet Fertik and Christopher Parmenter). This, combined with our established strengths in the study of modern Greek and American ethnicities (Georgios Anagnostou) and Black Classicisms (Tom Hawkins) immediately positioned OSU Classics as a leader in these areas. This page includes updates on our community engagement, teaching, scholarship, and upcoming events we organize and sponsor.
Autumn 2023 Events
CREG New Work Social
October 21st at 4 pm at Harriet Fertik's Residence
Please contact Harriet Fertik (fertik.1@osu.edu) if you are interested or have any questions.
This is the inaugural meeting of the CREG New Work Social. We will meet once each semester to discuss recent published work relevant to the study of race, ethnicity, and gender in antiquity and its reception (broadly defined) or to discuss work in progress with a guest speaker.
For this fall’s meeting, we will read and discuss Rosa Andújar’s “Phoenician Women: Deviant Thebans Out of Time” (in Queer Euripides, 2022) and Craig Williams’ “The Latin Language and Native Survivance in North America” (American Journal of Philology, 2022).
