The study of ancient Greek and Roman thinkers is in crisis. If the recent widely discussed New York Times opinion piece “Should We Cancel Aristotle?” is reflective of the best case scholars can muster for the value of their field, the end of Classics departments might be near.
In this webinar, Ghate and Smith discuss the growing calls to radically overhaul the academic curriculum.
