CLAS 310 - Current Controversies in Classics2 credits
This course investigates selected topics in Classics, chosen to fit students’ interests. Students read recent works presenting different views of a current issue in the field. We evaluate the ancient sources (the evidence), scholars’ reasoning about them, the state of the current debate, and its relevance to broader interests in the humanities and contemporary society. Through study of different types of scholarly writing, and regular writing of their own, students enter into the scholarly conversation in the field. Topics include, for example: ancient sexuality; multiculturalism and minorities; the fall of Rome; paganism compared with Christianity; new archaeological finds. Required for all majors, except those writing an Honors thesis in the department. May be repeated for credit as topics vary. Prerequisite: Junior or senior status; Classics or Classical Studies major, Classical Studies minor, or completion of two Classics courses. With signature of instructor, open to juniors and seniors who have taken one Classics course. Recommended: Maximum enrollment: 10. Offered spring semester. CLA-Writing in the Major
