Teaching Classics
Paideia Institute’s Aequora programs – a network of 15 sites nationwide where Classics graduate students, undergrads, and high school volunteers teach Latin in community centers and public schools with socioeconomically disadvantaged populations. Aequora has a textbook that emphasizes English literacy skills and is also developing a bilingual Spanish-English extension of the curriculum.
Classical Communities
Paideia Institute’s Legion Project – an outreach campaign to connect classicists working outside of academia. Their website is designed to be a resource for undergraduates, graduate students, and anyone else interested in the broad applications of a classical education across numerous careers. If you or someone you know has a degree in Classics and has found success outside of academia, get in touch. By nominating a Legionnaire, you will be helping to build a rich, diverse network of classicists that will support the discipline in numerous untold ways, and ensure its survival and relevance in the future.
