In response to the Black Lives Matter protests that have been happening
across the US and around the world since the spring, Eos
<https://www.eosafricana.org/announcements/eos-reads-special-session>, a
scholarly society for Africana receptions of Ancient Greece and Rome, has
decided to hold a special session entitled: Eos READS for Black Lives.
We would like to host a workshop within the community of Classicists at
Harvard (both within the Classics Department, and those affiliated with
Classics research around the university), on the proposed date of October
2, 2020, 12-1pm. We welcome undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs and
faculty. For folks interested in participating, there is a brief survey
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1gSZl9uzTsMciZBrEK3hcT68j45HLXcCrLsrBURhYGDA/viewform?edit_requested=true>
that
you can fill out to express your interest and share some ideas with us
about how to organize this session.

Antigone in Ferguson
<https://classics.fas.harvard.edu/boston-area-classics-calendar?trumbaEmbed=view%3devent%26eventid%3d147800243>

Antigone in Ferguson is a groundbreaking project, developed by Theater of
War Productions, which fuses dramatic readings by acclaimed actors of
Sophocles’ Antigone with live choral music performed by a diverse choir,
including activists, youth, teachers, police officers, and concerned
citizens from St. Louis, Missouri and New York City, culminating in
powerful, healing discussions about race and social justice. Antigone in
Ferguson was conceived in the wake of Michael Brown’s death in 2014,
through a collaboration between Theater of War Productions and community
members from Ferguson, MO, and premiered at Normandy High School, Michael
Brown’s alma mater, in September of 2016.

"Shapeshifters: A Brief History from Antiquity to Modern Times"
Award-winning author John Kachuba will speak about the myths, magic, and
meaning surrounding shapeshifters—creatures that capture our imagination,
appealing to our animal nature, our “dark side,” our desire to break free
of the bonds of society and proper behavior. Real or imaginary,
shapeshifters lurk deep in our psyches and remain formidable cultural icons.
