Podcast Series: Khameleon Classics statement
‘For two thousand years, study of the Greek and Roman worlds has been at the centre of Western education. Khameleon Classics is the podcast that asks why. What is our fixation with Classics, and why does the classical world only encompass Greece and Rome? How can ancient history shed light on the fight for a fairer society today? And what responsibility does it bear for the complicated legacy of colonialism that we struggle to face up to even now? In each episode, producer Shivaike Shah speaks with an expert in the field about some of the most urgent questions facing the study of Classics today.’
You can listen to all episodes on the Khameleon Classics webpage, or on Spreaker Podcast Player, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify. A number of CRSN board members have contributed to the series, including Barbara Goff, Justine McConnell & Fiona Macintosh.
Full list of participants: Oliver Taplin, Denise McCoskey, Carol Dougherty, Barbara Goff, Arum Park, Justine McConnell, Daniel Orrells, Helen Roche, Fiona Macintosh, Tom Hawkins, Andi Burton Marsh, Phiroze Vasunia, & Kathleen Cruz.
