Graduate Colloquium

The Department of Classics Graduate Student Colloquium was inaugurated in the spring of 2000 when Christopher Trinacty presented a chapter of his M.A. thesis ("A Poetics of Desire: a Comparative Literary Study of the Hylas Myth"). All departmental graduate students are invited to make a presentation (c. 20 mins.) on some aspect of their M.A. theses, or if they intend to deliver a paper at a scholarly conference. The Colloquium is usually held at the noon hour, and those attending may bring their lunch (the atmosphere is informal, congenial, and collegial). Current graduate students who wish to make a presentation should contact Dr. Christenson.
