  • Summary

  • Studying Classical Antiquity means reflecting on its position within our own contemporary world. Who is included or excluded from the study of Classical Antiquity? Whose Antiquity are we studying? How have the classics been used throughout history to include and exclude people? And, how can we talk about this in a meaningful way? These are the topics we discuss in this JEDI-funded project, Classics: Changing the Conversation.
