Exchanges
Brown-Yale Seminar
The Brown-Yale Seminar is a joint-meeting of the Classics departments of Brown University and Yale University, held once per year (alternating between Brown and Yale). The seminar consists of a paper delivered by a member of the visiting department, a formal response by a member of the host department, and discussion, followed by dinner.
The next meeting of the seminar series is scheduled for Tuesday, October 4, 5:30 pm at Yale’s Graduate Club. The speaker will be Stratis Papaioannou, William A. Dyer, Jr. Assistant Professor in the Humanities at Brown; the respondent will be Rob Nelson (History of Art/Renaissance Studies). The title of the talk is "Authorship in Byzantium."

St. Andrews/Yale Classics Exchange Program
The Yale/St Andrews Faculty Exchange is an annual event hosted in alternate years by the Classics Department at Yale University and the School of Classics at the University of St Andrews in Fife, Scotland, in an effort to further the already friendly relations between the departments and to take advantage of their complementary strengths. Each year, a faculty member from one of these two institutions is invited by the other for a two-week visit, during which he or she offers a public lecture and several seminars for faculty and students. The host department ensures numerous opportunities for its members and the visiting faculty member to get acquainted in informal settings, mostly involving food. It is intended that the departments use the Faculty Exchange program to enhance and expand their course offerings, especially at the graduate level.
This coming spring, the St. Andrews visitor will be Dr. Emma Buckley. For more information contact Christina.Kraus@yale.edu or Emily.Greenwood@yale.edu
