CfP | VII Classical Studies Symposium

WEBSITE

May 12-13, 2025

FARO | João de Deus Secondary School

This year’s theme, “(Re)telling the Graeco-Latin classics to the young”, aims to challenge speakers to present their research and practices not only to their peers but also to a younger audience.

• What strategies have been developed to bring younger generations closer to the ancient world?
• What are the most effective communication methods?
• How can the passion for antiquity be conveyed?
• What lessons can be learned early on from Greco-Roman antiquity?

These and other questions may be addressed.

Proposals for 20-minute presentations on the indicated theme are welcome. Topics may relate to various fields of humanities and social sciences (literature, history, philosophy, geography, etc.) and may extend beyond the chronological boundaries of Classical Antiquity, provided that the latter serves as the starting point.

Proposals should include:

• Name
• Affiliation
• Short Biographical Note (up to 100 words)
• Title of the Presentation
• Abstract (up to 250 words)

Any queries should be sent to the email addresses anogueir@ualg.pt or amariano@ualg.pt, with the subject line “VII JEC – Query.”
