Students in Classical languages, culture, archaeology, or environmental science have an opportunity to work intensively with departmental faculty to contribute to a variety of ongoing faculty research projects. Faculty projects vary from year to year but currently include studies in Mediterranean deforestation or river pollution, textual studies of legal terminology related to legal personhood in Greek law, or the regulation of magic in the Roman world, ethnobotanical and biochemical approaches to ancient medicine, or archaeological and archival work on the site of Morgantina in Sicily.
Lab students develop language and research skills, gain exposure to texts and research methods beyond basic curriculum and work towards tangible research outcomes for their professional portfolios: research posters, conference presentations, online content, or publications.
Students who are accepted as research interns in the Classics Lab can receive lab credit in Greek, Latin, or CLST, depending upon their skill set and upon the nature of their research project. The commitment is 4-6 hours a week for half credit. Participation is POI only. |
