The Classical Association of the Atlantic States Call for Papers 2010 Annual Meeting, October 7-9 Elizabeth, New Jersey

We invite individual and group proposals on all aspects of the classical world and the classical tradition, and on new strategies and resources for improved teaching. Especially welcome are presentations that aim at maximum audience participation and integrate the concerns of K-12 and college faculty. We are planning a special session on Thornton Wilder and the Classics, and we are delighted that the poet, essayist, and critic Katha Pollitt will be our Saturday luncheon speaker.
