Since 1987, the Reed College Greek, Latin, and Ancient Mediterranean Studies department has sponsored a forum on ancient Rome for high school students and teachers of Latin. Each year, students and teachers from around the Northwest gather on a Saturday on our campus to explore topics related to the culture and literature of the ancient Romans. Reed faculty and staff lead afternoon seminars; this year's topics include education in the Roman empire, graffiti in Pompeii, Roman sports, magic and magical texts, and Roman bakeries and bread.

Keynote address (updated): Accio Latinam! Or, Latin and the Making of Science Fiction and Fantasy

Brett Rogers (Reed '99), Professor of Greek, Latin, and Ancient Mediterranean Studies, University of Puget Sound

Check-in begins at 9:30 a.m. in the Student Union. More information about the schedule can be found here.

Latin Forum is free to Latin students and their teachers and parent guests, and includes breakfast and lunch. Registration is required.
