New Directions in Classics 2021-22
The Department of Classics’ New Directions in Classics series hosted its fifth season beginning in September 2021.
Once again, we would like to thank donors to our University of Winnipeg Foundation “crowd-funding” campaign. If you would like to support the series, please consider visiting the campaign page.
If you’d like more information on New Directions in Classics, please email Dr. Peter J. Miller, download the series poster (PDF version of the image below), read the UWinnipeg News Centre article, or find us on Facebook.
