Thursday Resource: CANE Annual Meeting

This entry was posted in Links and tagged CANE CANE_reminder scholarship on by

This week’s resource isn’t a website or an app like earlier ones have been: it’s a meeting.
The CANE Annual Meeting is a great opportunity to hear about developments in the Classical world, network, attend professional development workshops aimed at Latin teachers, buy books and classroom items, and just talk to other people who also teach Latin or Greek or Classics. The 2013 meeting will be 15-16 March at UConn. (Full details are here: http://caneweb.org/CANEwp/?page_id=255).
The deadline for proposals for papers or workshops is 1 December. You can submit them here: http://caneweb.org/CANEwp/?page_id=496
If financial constraints make you worried, there is the Finnegan-Plante scholarship to defray the costs of attending. Infrmation is available here: http://caneweb.org/CANEwp/?page_id=255.
What’s your favorite part about Annual Meeting?
