Morgan B and Opportunities. Ronnie Ancona (Hunter College and CUNY Graduate Center) presiding
In the last decade the presence of Latin has markedly increased at the secondary level in New York City’s public and charter schools, most notably with the opening of several new schools that require Latin. This panel explores the nature of this phenomenon to see what challenges and opportunities it has to offer the classics profession and the community at large. To succeed and thrive, the field of classics needs to identify new and sustainable audiences as well as to keep cultivating more traditional ones. While informing those in attendance about the current situation for classics in New York City, the speakers’ remarks will also stimulate thinking about whether what is occurring in New York City can and/or should be imitated or replicated elsewhere and why or why not.
