The Next Generation:
Papers by Undergraduate
Classics Students
APA 2013
Sponsored by Eta Sigma Phi
Eta Sigma Phi, founded in 1914 at the University of Chicago, is a national classics honorary society for
students of Latin and/or Greek who attend accredited liberal arts colleges and universities in the United
States. Since 2004 the society has sponsored undergraduate panels at meetings of the Southern Section
of CAMWS, as well as information tables at meetings of CAMWS, CAAS, and the APA.
The society recently changed its group affiliation with the APA from Category I to Category II so
that it could offer a panel showcasing the scholarship of undergraduate classics students. Papers may
deal with any aspect of the ancient Greek and Roman world (e.g., language, literature, art, history,
religion, philosophy) or with the reception of classical culture in modern times. An established scholar
is invited to serve as respondent to the student papers.
Eta Sigma Phi hopes that this panel will serve as a bridge between undergraduate students and
the American Philological Association, not just by giving the students an opportunity to experience
an APA meeting and to share their views with professional classicists, but also by introducing those
professionals to some of the most talented and promising students from the next generation of
classicists.
