@SarahEBond Maybe just invest the pub?

@ProfSimonton @theo_nash Exactly. Distribution reqs are old school. Now it's all Integrated, outcomes based. Institution-wide standards, but absolutely no standardized content.

[Classical Studies @NCCClassics]

@carlosfnorena So... what KPIs will we use to measure the impactfulness of our outcomes?

[Sportula Europe @SportulaEurope]

As we move into a new academic term, we wanted to flag this great initiative (which you might have missed over the summer break) - "A Cornucopia of Classics Resources"

[Classical Studies @NCCClassics]

@magistracohen Indeed. As Bob Dylan once sang, "Data doesn't talk; it swears."

Professor Amy Richlin draws parallels between Roman law and the recent Texas anti-abortion ruling in a Letter to the Editor published in today's LA Times. For those subscribed to the LA Times, check out the electronic article here:

Thank you, @FlintDibble, for speaking up on behalf archaeology, classics, history, and science. Shame on you, @Discovery, for spreading nonsense that undermines public understanding of each of these disciplines.

[Flint Dibble 🍖🏺 @FlintDibble]

This #archaeology thread gives a behind-the-scenes look at the new @discovery show “Hunting Atlantis” hosted by @stelpavlou & @jessphoenix2018

I present findings based on years of interdisciplinary research into the archaeological and historical context around Atlantis

Omg. Instant follow:

[Latinitas Animi Causa @lacvolo]

Flavius Caper was a Latin grammarian who lived in the 2nd C. CE who wrote a work "De Orthographia" that was later added to by other grammarians. It is written like a series of tweets about Latin. Animi causa, we're sharing a quote a day from Caper's work. Stay tuned!

Hard to explain to some people, but true: most classicists aren't interested in timelessness

[Charlotte Higgins @chiggi]

“Greek myths ... produce resonance for every new reader and writer, and for every generation... The Greek myths are the opposite of timeless: they are timely.”

An extract from the introduction to my new book, GREEK MYTHS

@magistracohen @MagisterBracey @chloereichel yes: confusing, depressing, frightening

@SarahEBond Note they do have a Teacher's Resource page: https://t.co/4QIEJi0ICa

@kataplexis Thanks for sharing this. Very interesting!

[Classical Studies @NCCClassics]

@hagen_adrienne A loss for Classics in Illinois

[Classical Studies @NCCClassics]

Omg. Just realized I could have made one of those "unboxing" videos!

[Classical Studies @NCCClassics]

@magistracohen Also: mostly literary, or can veer into social? (I enjoy thinking about this question, but feel free to tell me no need of more ideas!)

[Classical Studies @NCCClassics]

@magistracohen Further thought: how much does it have to be theory qua theory, or is there so leeway for applications that explain/demonstrate/expand upon theory really well?

[Classical Studies @NCCClassics]

@VeneficusIpse Now that's some epic "deviant focalization"
