(B.A.) Faculty List J. Warden, M.A. (Cantab.), Professor Emeritus K. Blouin, B.A., M.A., Ph.D. (Laval and Nice), Assistant Professor Discipline Representative: K. Blouin Email: kblouin@utsc.utoronto.ca Classical studies is a pluridisciplinary field which introduces the students to the study of the ancient Greek and Roman worlds. It involves disciplines such as history, literature, religion, languages and linguistics, art history, archaeology, and philosophy and pertains to the study of wide areas of Europe, North Africa and Asia over several millennia (ca. 2000 B.C.700 A.D.). The classical world was in essence Greek and Roman. Yet it was also a complex, heterogeneous, permeable, mixed and constantly evolving world in which the Greeks and the Romans have always been intertwined with other peoples and cultures. Classical studies at UTSC offer students both a thorough examination of the main features of the Greek and Roman civilizations and a substantial introduction to the other peoples and cultures which were part of or interacted with it. In most courses the ancient written sources are studied in translation. MINOR PROGRAM IN CLASSICAL STUDIES Program Supervisor: K.
