This entry was posted in Announcements on by

The Haley Classical Journal is opening its call for papers for our Summer 2021 issue! 

The Haley is an undergraduate, peer-reviewed Classical Studies research journal affiliated with the Hamilton College Classics Department. Last semester we received a number of excellent articles; ultimately, we published seven great essays from undergraduate students. If you would like to see our latest issue of The Haley, please click here.

We understand that this semester is much more challenging due to the global pandemic. Because of this, we are setting a longer deadline for paper submissions. If you are interested in submitting a paper for this upcoming issue of The Haley, please fill out this submission form by March 12th at 11:59 PM EST. Submissions should be no more than 4000 words and no less than 1000. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to our staff at haleyclassical@gmail.com or at hamtheon@hamilton.edu. We have also attached a PDF version of our CFP to make sharing more accessible.

We are looking forward to reading and reviewing your papers! 

Sincerely,
The Haley Editorial Board

Middle School Latin Teacher (Immediate Opening), Milton Academy

This entry was posted in Announcements Jobs on by

Milton Academy, a K-12 independent boarding and day school just outside of Boston, seeks immediate leave coverage for an in-person Latin teacher in the Middle School. The position consists of 3 Latin classes (6th, 7th, & 8th grade). We are looking for teachers who are deeply committed to teaching and working with the middle school age group and have a passion for teaching Latin. In addition to outstanding teaching ability, we seek teachers who are inquisitive, self-directed, team-oriented, and dedicated to diversity, equity, and inclusion. 

The Classics Department uses a mixture of traditional grammar-translation and active Latin approaches in the Middle School and the curriculum iterates each year on basics but changes textbooks to keep things fresh; the 6th graders have Cambridge, the 7th is in Ecce, and the 8th uses Latin for the New Millenium. Milton Academy has a number of COVID-19 safety protocols in place, including weekly testing of all students and faculty.

Qualified candidates will possess excellent communication and writing skills, and proficiency with technology is assumed. Flexibility, creativity, a sense of humor, a strong work ethic and a commitment to being a strong team member are all critically important. Demonstrated ability working in a diverse community is essential. Teacher certification is not required. Please direct any inquiries to Jesse Sawyer, Classics Department Chair (jesse_sawyer@milton.edu).   

The Katz Prize

This entry was posted in Announcements CANE News on by

Attention, college and university faculty: Remember to have your students submit a paper for the Katz Prize at CANE’s Annual Meeting for prestige, resume building, and money!

Begun as a five-year pilot program in 2000, the Student Prize was designed to honor research by fledgling Classicists, at the high school or undergraduate level of study. The Prize was renamed and more narrowly defined by the Executive Committee in February 2006, when it accepted the offer of an endowment from Dr. Arnold M. Katz, whose purpose was to establish the prize in perpetuity on the occasion of the 70th birthday of his wife Phyllis B. Katz. Beginning with its award in March 2006, the prize honors Phyllis B. Katz whose long service to CANE has included terms as Executive Secretary and Director of the CANE Summer Institute, among many other activities in support of the organization. She was also the recipient of the Barlow- Beach award in 1997.

A submitted paper must be the original work of an undergraduate student, although it may be submitted for consideration the year following completion of a bachelor’s degree. The paper must focus on some aspect of ancient Mediterranean languages, literature, history or culture and should be of suitable length to be delivered orally in 15 minutes. As a research paper, it must include proper citations and bibliography. While the paper need not be demonstrative of original research, it should display both command of the subject matter and some clear or unique assessment of the topic by its author.

The winning paper will be read by the recipient of the prize during the Annual Meeting of CANE, generally as the first paper in the first Saturday session. The author will receive an award of $200, free registration for the meeting and the cost of hotel accommodations if needed.

Submissions are due on February 15th and should be sent to the Immediate Past President at immpastpres@caneweb.org. Please direct any questions to that same email address.
