Bard Classical Studies Majors Soar in Summer Internships

Where can studying ancient languages lead? Great places: just ask three Bard Classics majors who spent the summer of 2021 pursuing their academic passions at Harvard University and the University of Chicago. Senior Em Setzer completed a paid internship at Harvard University’s Center for Hellenic Studies, a research facility, library, and cultural center based in Washington, DC. Senior Isabella Spagnuolo won a fully funded internship at the University of Chicago in the Leadership Alliance’s 2021 Summer Research Early Identification Program, a highly selective program designed for undergraduates interested in pursuing a PhD. Sophomore Jade Dinkins was awarded a scholarship to study at Harvard Summer School where, in seven short weeks, she learned ancient Greek from scratch and translated adaptations of works by Euripides, Lysias, Herodotus, and Aristophanes. Read More >>

Kline Commons  12:00 pm – 1:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
Language tables are held at Kline and entail about an hour of casual discussion during meal times, where students interested in a language get to know each other and practice colloquial conversations. They are held by the tutor of the language, and although sometimes professors join the table, it is a very low-stakes and fun setting to immerse yourself in a language, its culture and the foreign language community at Bard.

  A Conversation
11:50 am – 1:10 pm EDT/GMT-4
Dance is one of the oldest known art forms but also one of the most evanescent. How do we study dance in premodern cultures like ancient Greece and Rome? What questions can we ask, what sources are available to us, and what methodologies do we employ? How can scholars and practitioners create a more fruitful and creative dialogue between past and present in Dance Studies?

Please join Lauren Curtis (Bard College) and Karin Schlapbach (University of Fribourg), two members of the international research project IDA (Imprints of Ancient Dance / Improntas de danza antigua) to discuss their work in a roundtable conversation hosted by the Dance Program and Classical Studies Program.
