Faculty Spotlight: Yurie Hong

Yurie Hong (Greek, Latin, and Classical Studies) delivered a keynote, “Pedagogies of Care and Connection in a Time of Perma-crisis,” at Northwestern University’s Teaching Antiquity Now conference. This talk provided framing and tools to make learning about antiquity meaningful for students today and emphasized the ways in which course goals and assessment methods can enhance students’ intellectual experience and connection, develop professional skills, and communicate the value of humanities for personal and civic wellbeing.
