Online, 30/10/2024
The Teaching Committee of the IANLS, together with the Warburg Institute, the Society for Neo-Latin Studies, the Ludwig-Boltzmann-Institute for Neo-Latin Studies, and the Seminarium Philologiae Humanisticae of KU Leuven, is organizing a digital workshop on “Teaching Neo-Latin: texts, materials, didactic challenges”.
It will take place on Wednesday 30 October, 1 to 4.30 p.m. British time. Further information and registration via this link: https://warburg.sas.ac.uk/events/teaching-neo-latin-texts-2024.
The aim of this online event is to bring together (especially early career) researchers and teachers interested and involved in the teaching of Neo-Latin texts at both school and university level. Papers will reflect on the tools and platforms already available, and those which are still needed in order to successfully implement Neo-Latin teaching more broadly in schools and universities.
