Call for Expressions of Interest: ARC Network for Early European Research-sponsored Postgraduate Advanced Training Seminar Latin Clinic for Medievalists and Early Modernists
Organisers: Yasmin Haskell (University of Western Australia) and Date: 13 November 2009
Venue: Centre for Classical and Near Eastern Studies of Australia,
Madsen Building, University of Sydney, NSW

Rationale and aims

How’s your Latin lately? As students of medieval and early modern history, thought and
literature al of us wil come across (or up against . .) texts in Latin, the international language of scholarship, science, medicine, law, religion and diplomacy wel into the eighteenth century. Latin was also an important vehicle for creative writing, so it can’t be safely ignored even by students of the European vernacular literatures. This NEER postgraduate advanced training seminar is designed to introduce you to a range of post-classical Latin literature and genres and to help you tailor your language learning to your particular research needs and interests. If you’re struggling with a Latin inscription, letter, or other document, why not bring it along and ask an expert? And if you’re a classical Latinist, why not come and see how the other half lives! We aim to accommodate different levels of experience, and to help even the rustiest learners conquer their fear of the un-dead language . . To get the most out of this workshop, though, you wil need to have at least a basic familiarity with the grammar and vocabulary of classical Latin.
Format

Experienced medievalists and early modernists who specialise in or regularly use Latin in their
research wil lead sessions throughout the day in the areas of medieval Latin, Renaissance humanist Latin (fifteenth-sixteenth centuries), and early modern Latin (seventeenth-eighteenth
