- This event will explore the remarkable journey of the Greek language across time and space, from antiquity to the present, highlighting its enduring influence and its role in teaching and scholarship today. Distinguished speakers will discuss the language’s evolution and its presence in academic programs on our campus.
As part of the celebration, the RBML will showcase a special exhibition featuring some of its rarest materials related to Greek language and culture, spanning from the Middle Ages to the Modern Era. At the same time, the Literatures and Languages Library will present a “pop-up” display featuring recent acquisitions for the Modern Greek Collection.
A reception will follow the event.
