Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in the Latin Classroom: a toolkit for teachers from Cambridge University Press
As part of Cambridge University Press’s mandate to support the teaching and learning of classics in the United States, we have always offered fully-subsidized professional development for the Latin teaching community. As we have explored ways to support teachers over the years, we have recognized the important, ongoing conversations about social justice in Latin learning spaces.
Our Journey
In 2020, these conversations led us to Latin educators dedicated to cultivating diverse and inclusive Latin classrooms. The inaugural series launched in December of that year, spotlighting the work of teachers across North America who were working on embedding principles of diversity and inclusion into their teaching practice.
Our vision has always been for this project to grow over time. With your participation and feedback in the 2020 series, we were able to expand the project and return in 2021 with the support of more Latin educators, providing a broader range of perspectives and resources to further
Your support
Our Contributors
We are privileged to work with an expanded group of Latin educators and leaders of classics communities from across the country. This year our community of teachers and leaders will approach such themes as teaching Herstory in Latin, discussing race in a pre-racial world, why pronouns matter, and more.
As classics enrollment in secondary education declines, educators are grappling with the same questions: how can we show our students that Classics is for everyone, not just an elite group who look and sound a certain way? How do we teach the problematic and uncomfortable truths of antiquity in a way that is sensitive to the diverse backgrounds of the students sitting in front of us? What can we do to build Classics classrooms where every student feels seen and heard?
You will also be invited to take part in a live Q&A with the Latin contributors, on Thursday December 9th. Whether you just want to listen in and absorb the conversation, or have a question for one of our contributors, we want to give you a space to ask your questions and share your experiences with others.
These professional development materials bring our North American Latin teaching community together through the sharing of initiatives, case studies, lesson ideas, and much more—and we hope you’ll join us.
