GREK 320: Departmental Seminar: Alexander the Great (100/7545)

TR 02:45-04:00 PM Jan 11-Apr 26

Iversen, P

This writing-intensive seminar offers Classics students a firm grounding in the discipline with an emphasis on the diverse materials, methods, and approaches that can be brought to bear on the study of Greco-Roman antiquity. Students will read and discuss contemporary scholarship on Alexander the Great drawn from various sub-fields of classics including history, archaeology, art history, gender studies, inscriptions and reception criticism. Considerable class time will be devoted to writing instruction, sometimes via workshops in which students respond to and critique professional writings as well as one another's work. The two intertwining strands of the seminar--research and writing--should enable each student to produce a strong junior thesis on a chosen topic that need not have anything to do with Alexander. This seminar will lay the groundwork for the senior thesis. Throughout, students will be encouraged to approach English with the same rigor and precision they use in translating Greek and Latin. Offered as GREK 320 and LATN 320.
