NOTICE OF THE THIRTY-FOURTH ANNUAL MEETING

CALL FOR PAPERS
This year the conference will offer ‘Classics and the Classroom’ --
pedagogy, in other words -- as an informal theme. While members
are welcome to submit abstracts of papers on all subjects of special
interest to classicists, we especially invite those that focus on
teaching at both the secondary and university level. We hope to
attract papers addressing pedagogical issues involved in teaching
(e.g.) mythology, tragedy, epic poetry, history as well as Latin and
Greek, and from both secondary school and university faculty. You
need not be a member of CAPN in order to submit an abstract.
Notification will be made as soon as possible after the submission
deadline.
Abstracts of 100-150 words should be submitted by January 9, 2004 to
Catherine Connors or Alain M. Gowing, Department of Classics, Box
353110, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195. Please
indicate any special equipment that you may need to present your
paper. Papers should not be more than fifteen minutes in
length. The abstracts of the papers will be published in the Fall
2004 issue of the CAPN Bulletin. Abstracts may be submitted in
hardcopy or by e-mail (cconnors@u.washington.ed or
alain@u.washington.edu).
KEYNOTE SPEAKER: Professor Peter Howard
In keeping with the theme of the conference, we are pleased to report
that the Friday evening opening session will feature a keynote address
entitled ‘Non omnis moriar -- I'm not dead yet!’ by Professor Peter
Howard (Troy State University), a leading specialist in Latin and
Classics pedagogy and current director of the Teacher Placement Service
of the American Classical League, the largest such service for teachers
in this discipline in the country. A panel discussion, featuring
among others local secondary school teachers, will follow on issues
facing those who teach Classics or simply Classics-related material in
schools today.
