Giving Day Highlight: CL237
CL237 Race and Ethnicity in Ancient Greece and Rome, taught by Dr. Brandon Jones, dives headfirst into the ongoing conversation around race in the ancient world. Students explore the transformations of racial identities over time, as well as the influence of classical ideas on modern cultures, particularly in the United States. Prof. Jones designed the course in response to student feedback requesting course offerings that directly address racism.
“Classical Studies has a place in the history of uses and abuses of racialization and it is important that we offer classes that approach the ancient world and its legacy even when the picture—ancient and modern—is not pretty.”
—Dr. Brandon Jones
