4th International Classics Conference in Ghana (ICCG)

Classics at the Crossroads

University of Ghana, Legon

Over the past decade, significant strides have been made to rethink Classics beyond its traditional boundaries. Collaborative initiatives such as Global Classics and Africa, Classics Beyond Borders, the Africa World Initiative, and Classics at the Crossroads have sought to reimagine the discipline as more inclusive, globally engaged, and responsive to diverse intellectual traditions. At the same time, ongoing conversations around decolonization, restitution, curriculum reform, language pedagogy, and the place of Classics in contemporary education continue to challenge and reshape the field. What does it mean to practice Classics in a global and interconnected world? In what ways can Classics contribute to broader conversations in the humanities and beyond? We invite papers from scholars in Classics and related disciplines (including archaeology, history, literature, religion, philosophy, linguistics, anthropology, art history, performing arts) as well as from those working in interdisciplinary and comparative frameworks.
