Over the weekend, a group of Classics Department grad students attended the NYC conference entitled, "Our Voices: A Conference for Inclusive Classics Pedagogy."  This inaugural conference was meant to bring together Classical Studies educators who are interested in making the discipline "a more equitable and inclusive place."

For the final project in Prof. Conant's Fall 2019 Course CLAS 1205: The Long Fall of the Roman Empire, student Maya Smith went above and beyond, recreating various elements of the Book of Kells using traditional methods of bookbinding.

A hand-bound book similar to the 9th century Book of Kells. A 3-D printed set of Diocletian coins. A documentary-style infomercial about how to rid demons from your life, 3rd-century style. In Professor Jonathan Conant's Fall 2019 Course CLAS 1205: The Long Fall of the Roman Empire, students were given a simple guideline for their final project or term paper: "you are limited only by your imagination and my permission".
