MARTIN FOSTER KILMER
May 23, 1943 – November 5, 2018

From the Editor

Bruce Robertson informs the Association of the passing of Martin Kilmer. I am reproducing excerpts from the obituary which appeared on the website of the Ronald A. Walker Funeral Home, Hubbards, Nova Scotia:

Martin Foster Kilmer was born in Arlington, Virginia. He died at home in East River Point, Nova Scotia,on the evening of Monday, November 5, 2018 due to metastatic bladder cancer. He had a journey with this disease that started in the spring of 2015. Chemotherapy and surgery definitely slowed him down for a time. He was still busy recovering his strength when in the spring of 2018 he found out the cancer had recurred and was widespread in his body. He was excited to try the promising treatment using immunotherapy. Alas, it did not work out well for Martin.

He was trained as an archeologist and was retired from the Department of Classics and Religious Studies of the University of Ottawa since 2004. He had wished to be an archeologist from the age of four! He completed a BA in Classical Studies at Boston College. He was awarded a Marshall Scholarship which allowed him to pursue an MA Honours in Greek and Latin at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland. After starting his teaching career at the University of Ottawa, Martin pursued a PhD in Classical Archeology at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC. He immensely enjoyed teaching and found supervising graduate students the most gratifying part of his career in the latter years of his profession. His main academic work was completing his book Greek Erotica on Attic Red-Figure Vases (London: Duckworth) in 1993. He published many journal articles as well.

Submissions may include, but are not limited to course and syllabus development, social media, and feminist pedagogy.

We warmly encourage all scholars and graduate students who are interested in these topics to apply.

A NEW CAC WEBSITE
NOUVEAU SITE WEB DE LA SCÉC

From the Editor/ Du rédacteur

If you have clicked on some of the links above, you may have noticed that the website has a new look and, more importantly, loads much faster. For the time being, the old site is still working, but it will soon be entirely deactivated.

I would appreciate if you, dear reader, visited as many pages as possible and reported any problem that you can find, including broken links, typos, etc. I hope the Local Representatives and Department Chairs will also look at the informations most relevant to your department or programme and report any changes to be made. Pages that you might want to look at include "Classics programs in Canada", "Graduate Programs in Canada", "CAC Local Representatives" and, if you're an organizer or adjudicator of one of the competitons, the "Scholarships and Competitions" pages.

Il reste plusieurs changements à effectuer, mais l'essentiel est fait. L'ancien site devrait être désactivé d'ici la fin janvier. Nous avons espéré tout terminer avant l'envoi de ce Bulletin (ce qui explique le retard), mais les circonstances ne l'ont pas permis.

Ceux qui souhaitent aider à l'amélioration des pages en français peuvent consulter celles déjà mentionnées en version française («Programmes», «Cycles supérieurs», «Représentants locaux», «Bourses et concours») ou toute autre page.

CANADIAN INSTITUTE IN GREECE / INSTITUT CANADIEN EN GRECE
LEIPEN FELLOWSHIP / BOURSE LEIPEN

From / De Gerry Schaus

The Canadian Institute in Greece invites applications for The Neda and Franz Leipen Fellowship to be held in Athens, Greece, from 1 September, 2019 to 31 May, 2020

The applicant must be a Canadian citizen or landed immigrant, pursuing graduate or post-doctoral studies, and have a clear need to work in Greece.

In addition to his or her studies, the Fellow will spend at least nine months resident in Athens and will provide ten hours of assistance weekly at the Canadian Institute in Greece in the office or library, as well as assisting at the public functions of CIG. The nature of this work is to be determined in consultation with the Director. Some previous experience in Greece and some knowledge of modern Greek is an asset, although not a requirement.

The Fellow's research focus may be any aspect of Hellenic studies, from ancient to mediaeval, and in any academic discipline, but preference will be given to a candidate working in the field of Classical to Hellenistic Greek sculpture. In any subsequent publication of the research work done under the auspices of this fellowship, the recipient will acknowledge both the Canadian Institute in Greece and The Neda and Franz Leipen Fellowship.

The Fellow will receive a stipend of $9,000 and free accommodations in the CIG hostel for the period of the fellowship.

Applications should be postmarked before March 1, 2019, and should include a curriculum vitae, a description of the planned program of research, and three letters of reference. These should be sent to:

Professor Gerald P. Schaus, Chair
Personnel Committee, CIG – ICG

L'Institut canadien en Grèce sollicite les candidatures pour la bourse d'études Neda et Franz Leipen à Athènes, Grèce du 1er septembre 2019 au 31 mai 2020.

Le candidat doit être citoyen canadien, ou immigrant reçu, doit poursuivre des études avancées ou post-doctorales et doit avoir besoin de séjourner en Grèce.

En plus de ses études, le Boursier assistera le directeur adjoint de l'ICG dans le travail du bureau et de la bibliothèque (10 heures par semaine). On recommande donc une expérience antérieur en Grèce et au moins un peu de grec moderne.

Tout aspect des études helléniques, de l'antiquité jusqu'au moyen-âge, et n'importe quelle discipline académique peut servir de point focal des recherches du boursier; cependant une préférence sera accordée au candidat qui travaille dans le domaine de la sculpture grecque de l'époque classique jusqu'à l'époque hellénistique. Dans toute publication éventuelle de ses recherches conduites sous les auspices de cette bourse, le boursier reconnaîtra l'assistance de l'Institut canadien en Grèce ainsi que celle de la bourse d'études Neda et Franz Leipen.

Allocation de $9000, et logement à l'hôtellerie de l'ICG pendant le séjour.

Écrire avant le 1 Mars 2019, en incluant un curriculum vitae, une description du programme de recherche et trois lettres de recommandation à l'addresse ci-dessous.
