This colloquium aims at encouraging a scholarly dialogue between the graduate students in Classics at Florida State University and University of Florida. To this end, we have designed a two-part colloquium. The morning session consists of two workshops led by PhD graduate students, one from each school, on their respective areas of research. The afternoon session consists of graduate student panels.
