Talk: At 4:30 pm on Tuesday April 7, Professor Carl Richard, the leading expert on Classical Tradition in America, will give a talk on The American Founders' Classical Heroes and Villains at Fung House (48 Professor’s Row).

Grants: The Department of Classical Studies is working on two new funded projects, each of which began in 2026. 

• Professor and Chair Gregory Crane, his long time collaborator (and former Tufts researcher) David A. Smith of Northeastern, and Associate Professor Riccardo Strobino are developing Beyond Translation: Opening up the Human Record, a project funded by Schmidt Sciences’ Humanities Artificial Intelligence Virtual Institute. 
• At the same time, a grant from the Scholarly Editions and Translations program at the National Endowment for the Humanities (RQ-306857-26) is allowing Crane  and Strobino to begin work on a Born-Digital edition of Aristotle’s Poetics in Greek, Arabic and Latin.
