Congratulations to Kelly Nguyen (Ph.D., Ancient History) for winning the John J. Winkler Memorial Prize!
Every year, the Winkler Prize is awarded to the best graduate or undergraduate paper from a North American program in “a risky or marginal area of Classics”. Kelly’s essay, titled “Queering Telemachus: Ocean Vuong, Postmemories and the Vietnam War,” won out over a very competitive field, impressing the judges with her “originality, eloquence, and persuasive and brilliant reading”.
This year, Classics @ Brown held our third annual Button Badge Competition! We asked all undergraduates in Classics courses to create a design that they felt represented Classics at Brown University.
