The Department of Classics aims to provide an enriching educational experience for both majors/minors and students taking individual courses. Our core focus involves studying ancient Greek and Latin languages along with their literary works. Additionally, we actively explore wider cultural themes through teaching and research. We strive to comprehensively understand Greek and Roman civilizations while examining their complex legacy on contemporary society. For instance, our spring 2020 seminar "Ancient Worlds, Modern Crises" and courses like "Classics Beyond Whiteness" and "Women, Gender, and Sexuality in Antiquity" regularly address these themes. Alumni describe our department as welcoming, interdisciplinary, thoughtfully analytical, and emphasizing conceptual understanding over rote memorization.
Wake Forest's Classics Department maintains that examining ancient Greek and Roman civilizations - which spanned three continents, multiple millennia, and diverse cultures - offers valuable insights into modern society. While not claiming exclusivity, we concentrate on these historically significant cultures both for their intrinsic worth and as lenses to critically assess contemporary values and social norms.
