Today on AJR we begin a forum on the experience of academics who have chosen to teach in secondary education. Classicist Jonathan Warner kicks off the forum, "Secondary Scholarship," with his reflection on teaching Latin in a public high school. www.ancientjewreview.com/read/2026/1/...
Sine Qua Non: Teaching Latin in Public School
Secondary-turned academics are indispensable not merely for their banausic training and credentials. At their best, scholars of the humanities embody love of learning and wisdom over mere appearance and sophistry. Where institutions of learning tilt toward test-prep and job training, PhD-trained teachers must fight to keep alive a humanistic appreciation of learning for its own sake.

I enjoyed exploring Boston yesterday, especially the relevant (unnervingly so) exhibit 'Revolution: 250 years of Art and Activism in Boston' in the Public Library. Definitely doesn't pull any punches. The library itself (old & new) is one of the most impressive public spaces I've visited. #aarsbl25

Really enjoyed myself at #aarsbl25 this year. It didn't start terribly well when I was detained in the airport for a few hours (an error -- not mine!), but Boston more than made up for it. A privilege to present in the Acts and the Exile (Forced Migrations) in Biblical Literature Sections.
