Call for Papers for a Roundtable on the Teaching of Latin
Last year, the research group RELICS organised an online roundtable discussion on the future of Latin studies. Excellent impulse talks and vivid discussions made the event a success, which is why we have decided to continue the effort. Future roundtables will focus on topics which last year’s discussion highlighted as particularly relevant for the field. This year, we will look at the teaching of Latin from various points of view.
