Dear colleagues,
I have to date received only 1 submission for the junior-level essay
contest. This is really not enough for me to run the junior-level
contest for this year (the senior-level contest got 11 submissions and
is viable). If anyone had any outstanding essays submitted for a
junior-level course, please get them to me by October 1. If a critical
mass of at least 5 is not reached, I don't think there can be a
junior-level contest this year.
Thank you for your support of the contest,
Frances Pownall

We also have a strong graduate program, offering the M.A. and the Ph.D. in both Classics and Classical
Archaeology. The University of Alberta is a research-intensive university with an outstanding library that contains strong holdings in Classics. Other resources include a large slide library as well as the W.G. Hardy Museum of Classical Antiquities. Additional information on the Department is available on the Department's website,

The Comparative Drama Conference is an international, interdisciplinary conference. It was founded by Dr. Karelisa Hartigan at The University of Florida in 1977. Every year, about 150 scholars are invited to present and discuss their work in the field of drama. The conference draws participants from both the Humanities and the Arts. The papers delivered range over the whole field of theatre research and production. Over the past 26 years, the participants have come from 27 countries. Papers selected for presentation are assigned to a conference session which includes other papers with related themes. Sessions are established to cover all papers selected. Each year a distinguished theatre scholar or artist whose recent work is relevant to the conference is invited to address the participants in a plenary session. Past keynote speakers have included: Charles Beye, Bernard Beckerman, Peter Walcot, Edith Kern, John Peradotto, William C. Scott, Enoch Brater, Oscar Brockett, Charles Lyons, Bernd Seidensticker, Juan Villegas, Marvin Carlson and Helene Foley.
