Getting Worked over.

My class schedule has now been finalized (sort of!), and the end result is incredibly promising yet just a bit on the pyscho side of the scale. I've added Dale Martin's doctoral seminar on the Greco-Roman environment. For those of you that have never met Dale Martin, I highly suggest trying to at some point! The class meets once a week, and it's expected that you will not be able to be fully prepared. In his words, the premise of the course is to learn how to read everything when it's impossible to read everything! In terms of content, at some point will be reading Tacitus' writing on sperm in the ancient world. So, there you go! Dr. Martin brings an incredibly interesting and energetic approach to the table, so I think this will be a great class. For the record, he's the godfather of Bart Ehrman's kids and calls Ehrman a close friend. Should be a fantastic class!
