What does a global, self-critical, progressive discipline of Classics look like, and how can we build that? Answering this question requires transnational collaboration spanning different regions of the world.
Our project, founded on a partnership between Memorial University (Canada), the University of Ibadan, Nigeria, and the University of Ghana, Legon, confronts this challenge by developing an innovative model for global network-building that centres African perspectives on the Classics.
Here are some of our past and upcoming events.
Members of our collaboration held a project retreat at Memorial University’s campus in Harlow, UK and participated in a one-day colloquium at Cambridge University.
Recent scholarship in Classics has redirected the exclusive focus on ancient Greece and Rome to study of the broader ancient Mediterranean as a space of diversity and connectivity, and at the same time, traced the transmission of classical antiquity in cultures and regions beyond the West.
