Varia
From:
Leanne Bablitz
The Association of Ancient
Historians is currently gathering information for a new "Directory of Ancient
Historians." They have asked me to collect information for those in Canada who
consider themselves ancient historians and wish to have their information
included in the book. Please forward the following information (as you wish it
to appear in the directory) to me in an email (leanne.bablitz@ubc.ca) with the
subject heading "AAH directory": - your name - your rank/position -
where you received your PhD - your work mailing address - your work
phone - home phone (if you wish) - your fax - your email address
- your web page address - your research interests (please use short
phrases; can be multiple, but no more than three.)
If you know of someone
who may not receive the CCB, please pass this along to them. We obviously want
to reach as many historians as possible! The deadline for submissions is July 31st,
2010.

Keep Latin and Classical
Studies in Scottish Schools
Dear all, I am contacting you in
anticipation that you will be able to assist in efforts to ensure that Latin
does not disappear from the curriculum in Scotland, particularly in the state
sector. The examination board, the SQA, proposes not to develop qualifications
in Latin at the first/lower levels, contrary to the Curriculum for Excellence..
Qualifications for Classical Studies have now been secured but is essential to
secure a discrete Latin qualification at National Level 4 to ensure parity of
esteem and progression with other languages. If there are no qualifications
at the first/younger levels for pupils, schools will inevitably remove Latin
from the school curriculum. A Facebook has been set up outlining the
concerns encouraging classicists and those who care about education to contact
the SQA and Michael Russell, the Education Secretary for Scotland to ensure a
"re-think" of these proposals, which appear to discriminate against Latin.
Could I ask you to look at the Facebook page, simply titled Keep Latin and
Classical Studies in Scottish Schools, and give your support to ensure that a
classical language remains available to pupils in Scottish schools. (You do not
need to be a Facebook user to access these pages.) Regards
Shona
J.A. Harrison Classics Teacher
