Elaine Fantham Award for Public Engagement in Classics, 2021
Prix « Elaine Fantham » de la SCÉC pour la mobilisation du public en Études classiques, 2021

From / De Allison Glazebrook

Le français suit

This award is offered in memory of Professor Elaine Fantham, well known internationally for the wide range and accessibility of her scholarship in Latin Literature and Roman social history. She held positions at the University of St. Andrews, Indiana University Bloomington, the University of Toronto, Trinity College, and Princeton University. She was no stranger to the Association, serving on the editorial board of Phoenix (1976–79), as vice-president of the Association (1982–84), and as its Honorary President (2001-6). Professor Fantham was also dubbed "the rock star of the classics world" for her public engagement. From 1996 on, she contributed short comments on classical topics to National Public Radio in the United States, where she interested millions in the study of classical antiquity. This award is thus a fitting tribute to Professor Fantham who gave a public and very human voice to our discipline. It honours CAC members for their exceptional projects, performances, or events that address communities outside the academy and that engage those communities with the ancient world, its reception, and/or individual research into these fields. The type of activity and the medium of engagement (such as face to face, film, radio, print, podcast, video, exhibit and so on) are not restricted, however the engagement must be based on responsible scholarship. Social media engagement, on platforms such as Twitter and Facebook, may be a factor, but not the primary medium. The award recognizes the importance and benefits of such engagement to communities, the field of Classics, as well as scholarly projects.

Criteria: Activities occurring within the last five years only are eligible. Outreach developed as part of a curriculum, for the promotion of individual departments, or undertaken as part of a CAC-sponsored event is not eligible. Nominees must be members of the CAC.

Nomination Process: Nominations should be sent by February 15, 2021, to the Past President of the CAC, Allison Glazebrook (aglazebrook@brocku.ca), and include a letter of nomination, a detailed description of the activity, and an up-to-date Curriculum Vitae of the nominee. Documentation attesting to the impact of the engagement, such as testimonia from participants and communities, media coverage, and/or resulting publications will greatly strengthen any nomination, but such materials are not a requirement. Self-nominations are encouraged.

Announcement of the Award: The Past President will present the Award at the Annual General Meeting of the Association in May.

Ce prix est en l'honneur d'Elaine Fantham. La professeure Fantham était bien connue pour le large éventail et la grande accessibilité de ses travaux en littérature latine et en histoire sociale. Elle a notamment enseigné à l'Université de St. Andrews, à l'Indiana University Bloomington, à l'Université de Toronto, au Trinity College, et à l'Université de Princeton. Elle n'était pas étrangère à notre association, siégeant au comité de rédaction de Phoenix (1976-79), en tant que vice-présidente de la Société (1982-1984) et présidente honoraire (2001-2006). La professeure Fantham est également bien connue pour son engagement public en tant que "rock star du monde des études classiques". À partir de 1996, elle a fait de brefs commentaires sur des sujets classiques à la National Public Radio aux États-Unis, où elle a engagé des millions de personnes dans l'étude de l'antiquité classique. Le prix est en hommage au professeur Fantham qui a donné une voix publique et très humaine à notre discipline. Il honore des membres de la SCÉC pour des projets, des performances ou des évènements exceptionnels qui font appel à des gens extérieurs à la communauté universitaire et qui mobilise ces gens en ce qui a trait à l'antiquité, à sa réception et/ou aux travaux de chercheurs individuels dans ces domaines. Le type d'activité et le médium de la mobilisation (tel que des interactions en personne, publications, expositions, capsules ou entrevues radio ou vidéo, etc.) ne sont pas limitées; néanmoins, la mobilisation du public doit toujours être fondées sur une recherche responsable. Une mobilisation via des média sociaux, sur des plateformes telles que Twitter et Facebook, peut être un facteur, mais peut ne pas être le médium principal de la démarche. Ce prix a pour but de reconnaître l'importance et les retombées d'une telle mobilisation pour la communauté en général, pour le domaine des études classiques, ainsi que pour les projets universitaires.

Critères : Les activités qui ont eu lieu au cours des cinq dernières années seulement sont éligibles. Les activités de sensibilisation qui ont été développées dans le cadre de programmes, fait pour la promotion de départements précis ou entrepris grâce à des activités promues par la SCÉC ne sont pas éligibles. Les candidat.e.s doivent être membres de la SCÉC. 

Processus de nomination: Les nominations doivent être envoyées, le 15 février 2021 au plus tard, à la présidente sortante de la SCÉC, Allison Glazebrook (aglazebrook@brocku.ca), et inclure une lettre de nomination, une description détaillée de l'activité et un curriculum vitae à jour du ou de la candidat.e. Si une documentation qui atteste de l'impact de la mobilisation (témoignages de participant.e.s et de membres de la communauté, couverture médiatique et/ou publications qui en résultent) pourra grandement renforcer toute mise en candidature, ces documents ne sont pas exigés. La SCÉC encourage les membres à envoyer leur propre candidature.

Annonce du prix : Le ou la président.e sortant.e présentera le Prix lors de l'assemblée générale annuelle de la Société en mai.

COVID-19 micro-grants
Micro-subventions « COVID-19 »

From / De Jessica Romney & Bruce Robertson

In order to assist in alleviating economic and professional disruptions caused, at least in part, by the economic impacts of COVID-19, the CAC is pleased to offer a second round of “micro-grants” to those members in the “Member, income less than $40,000” or “Member, student” categories. (Applicants in the first round ar eligible to apply again.) These grants are intended to help members with expenses that relate to the objectives of the organization, especially those associated with research, and with those expenses that they have incurred unexpectedly as a result of COVID-19 that affect research (e.g., unexpected childcare expenses, increased internet access costs, books purchased because of library closures, etc.).

Please see the CCB for July 2020 for full details and link to the form.

Inquiries may be directed to Dr. Jessica Romney (romneyj2@macewan.ca).

::::::::: ::::::: ::::: ::: : ::: ::::: :::::::::

Pour contribuer à minimizer les difficultés économiques et professionnelles causées, du moins en partie, par l'impact du COVID-19, la SCEC est heureuse d'offrir une deuxième série de micro-subventions aux membres de la catégorie « Membre adherent, revenu inférieur à 40,000 $ » ou « Membre étudiant(e) ». (Les candidats de la première série peuvent postuler à nouveau.) Le but de ces subventions est d'aider les membres à payer les frais liés aux objectifs de la Société, surtout ceux associés à la recherche et aussi ceux qu'ils ont dû payer, de façon inattendue à cause de la COVID-19, qui affectent leurs recherches (par exemple, frais imprévus de garde d'enfants, augmentation des frais d'accès à l'internet, achats de livres causés par la fermeture des bibliothèques).

Veuillez voir tous les détails et trouver le formulaire dans le BCEA de juillet 2020.

Pour des renseignements concernant ces subventions, veuillez contacter Dr. Jessica Romney (romneyj2@macewan.ca).

Updating the Directory of Classicists in Canada (last call)
Mise à jour de l'Annuaire des Antiquisants au Canada (rappel final)

From / De Guy Chamberland

I have undertaken an update of the Directory of Canadian Classicists. The previous two postings of this call have led to several corrections and additions, but I know there's a lot more to do. So, I would appreciate if you sent me corrections concerning yourself and your colleagues: titles, contact information, etc. Please let me know of members who are deceased or have moved to another university or country. Note that this is a directory of Classicists: I will not add names of people who happen to teach only a Classics course tangentially while their professional life is in another discipline.

Les information sont présentées dans la langue de travail habituelle de chaque collègue. L'annuaire n'est accessible, pour l'instant, que dans sa version anglophone en ce qui concerne son titre et son emplacement sur le site. Cette situation sera bientôt corrigée.

N'hésitez surtout pas à naviguer sur le site et à me faire part des corrections à y apporter. To reach me: gchamberland@laurentian.ca or ccb@cac-scec.ca.

Call for Abstracts
Ovid and the Natural World
Panel sponsored by the International Ovidian Society
SCS convention in January 2022 (San Francisco)

From Alison Keith

Ovid has arguably become the Roman poet of the moment. From fairly recent college demands that he should be kicked off a Humanities curriculum we now have Helen Morales' book, Antigone Rising, which, in a chapter on myth and #Me too, argues that Ovid is a poet of deep empathy who offers insight into the psychology of sexual assault and explores the effects of trauma upon the victims. But how does Ovid measure up against another great crisis of our age, climate change? Discussion of his representation of nature has tended to focus on his vivid pictorial descriptions of landscapes in the Metamorphoses, which inspired the dream-like landscapes of the seventeenth century French painter Claude Lorrain, for instance; in Ovid's myth of Actaeon, the statement in the description of Diana's grotto that nature had imitated art (Met. 3.158–9) was taken as an aesthetic credo by artists and landscape gardeners from the Renaissance to the nineteenth century. Yet that statement can be read as a subterfuge, a decoy that prevents suspicion of natur's savagery, as embodied by the angry Diana; the crystalline water of the grotto's pool is the instrument of Actaeon's cruel transformation. The poet plays here with illusion, but also shows that nature fights back against transgression.

This panel invites papers that go beyond the "pictorial Ovid" to explore in greater depth Ovid's relationship to the natural world. Ovidian poetry offers a view of the world familiar us today, where the divide between human and nonhuman is blurred; all created beings, in Ovid's world, are related, but the breakdown between the categories of human, animal, plant, stone, mountain, etc. happens particularly at moments of crisis. But does Ovid recognize through his poetry the threats that human beings pose to the natural world through the ideology of domination? How are these ecocritical issues explored in the literary and artistic reception of Ovid?

Suggested themes are the following (other topics are welcome):

• The boundaries between human and plant, animal, or inanimate object.
• Breakdowns of boundaries between nature/culture or natural/artificial.
• The poet's relationship to the theme of the domination of nature or nature's suffering through human actions.
• The anthropomorphizing of Nature and the attribution of agency to nonhuman things and organisms.
• Philosophical influence upon Ovidian views of the natural world, e.g. his Pythagoras' view of nature's innocence before the intervention of animal sacrifice for the gods.
• The intersection of religion and history in the Ovidian landscape.
• The representation of the early landscape of Rome and the moralizing tradition.
• Perceptions of extreme environments, such as Tomis in the exilic poetry.
• Receptions of Ovid’s works that illuminate his presentation of the natural world, for instance, Richard Power’s Overstory with a view to the ecological and gendered importance of trees in Ovid’s poetry.

Direct any questions to the organizer, Carole Newlands, at Carole.Newlands@Colorado.edu

Send your abstract for a 20-minute paper as an email attachment to lfulkerson@fsu.edu by March 15, 2021, listing Ovid and the Natural World as the subject line of the email. The text of the abstract should not mention the name of the author, but the email message should provide name, abstract title, and affiliation. Abstracts should not exceed 500 words (excluding bibliography); follow the SCS guidelines for individual abstracts. Submissions will be reviewed anonymously.

Frederick and Joan Winter Student Travel Bursary
Bourse d’études et de voyages Frederick et Joan Winter

From / De Gerry Schaus

Professor Frederick Winter, formerly professor of Art History at the University of Toronto, made many contributions to Classical Archaeology, but he will be remembered best for his masterly monographs, Greek Fortifications (1971) and Studies in Hellenistic Architecture (2006), as well as a series of articles in the American Journal of Archaeology (1976–1982) entitled “Tradition and Innovation in Doric Design I – IV.” His wife, Joan, was a constant companion in his field research, an assistant in gathering data and an invaluable sounding board for ideas. Between them, Fred and Joan visited an extraordinary number of classical sites, firmly believing in the importance of seeing a location for oneself.

Now, as a permanent support and assistance for Canadian student fieldwork in Greece and the Mediterranean, following in their formidable footsteps, Prof. Winter's family has established the Frederick and Joan Winter Student Travel Bursary through the Canadian Institute in Greece.

The Institute therefore invites applications for the Frederick and Joan Winter Student Travel Bursary to be held during the spring or summer of 2021.

The applicant must be a Canadian citizen or landed immigrant, pursuing graduate or post-doctoral studies, and have a clear need to travel either in Greece or the wider Mediterranean, for purposes of research in any field of Hellenic studies, ancient to mediaeval.

To apply, write to Dr Angus Smith (rsmith@brocku.ca) by 1 March 2021, including a curriculum vitae, an outline of the proposed research and an explanation for the need to travel for this research. Please arrange for two referees familiar with your work to send letters of support for your application to Dr Smith.

Within three months of the end of the travel period, a brief report must be sent by the bursary recipient to the Chair of the CIG Fellowships Committee describing the work that was accomplished.

In any subsequent publication of the research work done under the auspices of this bursary, the recipient shall acknowledge both the Canadian Institute in Greece and the Frederick and Joan Winter Student Travel Bursary.

One or more bursaries will be offered each year, amounting to a total of CAD$2,000.

Ancien professeur d'histoire de l'art à l'Université de Toronto, Frederick Winter (1922–2011) a publié de nombreux travaux sur l'archéologie du monde classique. Il est connu surtout pour deux ouvrages, Greek Fortifications (1971) et Studies in Hellenistic Architecture (2006), et pour une série d'articles dans l'American Journal of Archaeology (1976–1982) intitulée « Tradition and Innovation in Doric Design I–IV ». Sa femme, Joan, compagne inséparable durant ses recherches sur le terrain, a joué un rôle crucial autant dans la collecte que dans l’analyse des données. Fred et Joan ont visité ensemble un grand nombre de sites, jugeant que l'expérience personnelle acquise sur le terrain était indispensable.

Afin de soutenir et d'assister les études sur le terrain d'étudiants canadiens en Grèce et dans le monde méditerranéen, la famille du professeur Winter a créé la « Bourse d'études et de voyage Frederick et Joan Winter » avec l'assistance de l'Institut canadien en Grèce (ICG).

L'Institut canadien en Grèce lance un appel à candidatures pour la Bourse d'études et de voyage Frederick et Joan Winter pour un séjour qui sera effectué au printemps ou à l'été 2021.

Les candidats doivent être citoyens canadiens ou immigrants reçus et inscrits dans un programme d'études graduées ou postdoctorales. Ils doivent aussi démontrer un besoin manifeste de séjourner en Grèce ou ailleurs en Méditerranée pour mener des recherches sur le monde hellénique, de l'antiquité à l'époque médiévale, dans la discipline de leur choix.

Pour déposer votre dossier de candidature, veuillez contacter le professeur Angus Smith (rsmith@brocku.ca) avant le 1er mars 2021. Les dossiers doivent comprendre un curriculum vitae, un plan détaillé du projet d'études en Grèce, et une justification de la nécessité de mener des recherches sur le terrain. Veuillez demander à deux professeurs souhaitant appuyer votre démarche d'envoyer une lettre d’appui au professeur Smith.

Dans les trois mois qui suivront la fin de la période de recherche, le candidat devra envoyer, au président du comité des bourses de l'ICG, un court rapport décrivant le travail accompli.

Le bénéficiaire aura l'obligation, dans toute publication résultant des travaux de recherche menés grâce à cette bourse, de souligner le soutien de l'Institut canadien en Grèce et de la bourse Frederick et Joan Winter.

Une ou plusieurs bourses seront offertes chaque année jusqu'à concurrence de 2000 $ CAD (total des bourses).

Christina Vester will be delivering our keynote address (1–2 pm) on teaching introductory languages online. She will be followed by our AGM (2-2:30 pm), and then a roundtable (2:30-3:15 pm) on various topics including:

• Assessment
• Accessibility
• Cambridge Elevate
• Online tools to encourage interactivity and active engagement

Following that, we will disband into two sets of smaller breakout groups where members can (and are encouraged to) start smaller discussions on each topic (3:15-4 pm).

There is no cost associated with this AGM, but members are encouraged to become members of the OCA. Membership from this point on will also apply to the 2021 calendar year.

Members and non-members can register by completing this google form: https://forms.gle/CVqhayttLWM9j9hn8.
