Classics
The goal of the Classics Department is to offer students an inclusive view of the ancient world and its relation to contemporary society through a focus on classical languages or classical studies.
The Senior Program
During their senior year, all classics concentrators work closely with a faculty member on one-semester independent research projects of their choosing.
Some recent senior projects in classics include:
- Dissection of the Greek Female Body and its Implications for Classical Reception
- The Mis-Identification of Ithaca
- Romani, ite domum! Imperialist Themes in Monty Python’s Life of Brian
- The Construction of Gender, Sexuality, and Power in Catullus: A Foucaldian Analysis

- The Construction of Race in Ancient Greek Literature and its Reception
- Robotizing Pygmalion
- Motherhood and Martyrdom in the Passion of Perpetua: A Reconciliation of Nurture and Violence in the Early Church
- Who Were the Carthaginians?: Fact versus Fiction
- Fake News and the Dangerous Legacy of a Martyrdom Complex: How Popular Misconceptions about Martyrdom in the Early Church Still Create Real Barriers to Compassion and Dialogue Today
