The International Ovidian Society and the Societas Ovidiana welcome proposals for papers (15-20 mins), panels (1 hr), or roundtables (1hr) for an online pedagogy symposium.
We invite proposals on any aspect of teaching Ovid in the university or school classroom.
Proposals might consider, but are not limited to the topics of:
- Classroom exercises based on Ovidian texts and themes (e.g. love; exile; epic; tragedy);
- Teaching with Ovidian intermediaries (e.g. medieval moralised Ovids; early modern translations);
- Using modern editions and/or translations in the classroom;
- Ovidian retellings in the classroom;
- Teaching with the material text, archives, or library resources;
- Language teaching with Ovid (e.g. Latin; medieval languages);
- Producing creative responses to Ovidian texts and ideas.
The CFP deadline is Monday 16th February 2026.
Please send abstracts of c. 200 words with a brief author bio to
rebecca.menmuir@lincoln.ox.ac.uk.
The symposium will be free to attend, but membership to the International Ovidian Society will be required. Visit https://ovidiansociety.org.
*All are welcome to submit an abstract regardless of time zone: we will try to accommodate suitable times across the symposium.
