119th Annual Meeting
March 21-22, 2025 | Yale University | New Haven, CT
CANE’s Annual Meeting is a two-day gathering where educators from New England and beyond network, share best practices about teaching and learning, and present cutting edge research. Spend your time attending academic paper readings, workshops, and discussion panels, or peruse the vendor tables and chat with new acquaintances over coffee. There is also an optional banquet on Friday night to celebrate exceptional educators and students. The Annual Meeting is open to all CANE members. Videos and presenter resources (i.e. presentations and handouts) of past Meetings are available to CANE members in the Archives.

Additional Offerings
If you are interested in either or both of these experiences, please indicate so in your registration so we can staff them appropriately. You will sign up for a particular day and time when you arrive at the conference.
Yale Art Gallery
The Yale Art Gallery houses a small but remarkable collection of artifacts from ancient Babylon, the Greco-Roman Mediterranean, and Dura-Europos. In addition to Greek vases and Roman statues, we visit a reconstructed Mithraeum, items from what is likely the earliest Christian church, a synagogue, and rare examples of Roman military equipment. For more on the collection, see here.
Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library
Among the vast holdings of the Beinecke Rare Books & Manuscript Library are papyri and codices in Greek and Latin from Egypt and beyond. Beinecke librarians will introduce us to the collection and let us examine a selection of materials up close. For more on the collection, see here.
