CLASC-129 Reacting to the Past: Beware the Ides, Beware the Hemlock

Following a pedagogical model based around role play and active engagement, students will play in a number of "Reacting to the Past" scenarios set in ancient Greece and Rome--becoming stakeholders in these world-changing crises as they fight, speak, study, sweet-talk, and coerce their way to power over their classmates, be they allies or adversaries. This course is suitable for students of all interests and backgrounds and will offer opportunities to develop writing, public-speaking, critical thinking, and persuasion skills.
