I am not surprised! He is a delight to work with.

Thank you, Daniel!! I hope it leads to productive discussion!

Having taught both intermediate and advanced Greek at St. Olaf (and having been paid for it!), this hurts my heart. Anne was one of the best colleagues I've ever had and has given so much to the department. She deserves to retire knowing its future is assured.

Thank you!!

Thank you so much, Lauren!!

Thank you!!!

Thank you!!!

I am also aware that this good fortune comes even as many are having their federal grants and fellowships revoked, which makes me doubly determined to earn this honor and to show why studying the humanities is more urgent now than ever. (3/3)

I am so thankful to those who have encouraged me in this, and I am beyond grateful to the Guggenheim Foundation for supporting scholarly endeavors. (2/3)

They have a lot, but you do sometimes have to wait a while. Between Hoopla and Libby, I can usually find what I want (or at least something that appeals to me).

I use Libby all the time! It's free, and you can perhaps sign up through your public library. (I also use Hoopla, which I get through my university library.)

She did such a fabulous job!!

Thank you, Sarah!! You are totally the rock star, so I was thrilled to have you there!

Thank you for sharing! :)

Edited to add: Actually, the translation of 50 is in the form of a sonnet (with expert rhyme!).

the translations themselves must demonstrate deep reading of the original's sounds, metaphors, stylistic devices, wordplay, etc. Not all students did translations--they had the option of doing a traditional paper but it had to focus on translation/adaptation/reception in some way.

There's also a homophonic translation (à la the Zukofskies) of Catullus 15 and a translation of Catullus 8 using only Taylor Swift lyrics. Each one has to rounded out with a scholarly translation note--but...
