Barbara Gold, the  Edward North Professor of Classics, attended the annual meeting of the American Philological Association in Philadelphia on Jan. 5-8, where she delivered a paper titled “Juvenal: The Idea of the Book,” at a session on “Roman Satire.” 

Gold also organized and chaired a meeting of the chairs of classics departments at liberal arts colleges, a group which she founded several years ago and which meets annually to discuss matters of common interest. In addition she selected a fellow to work at the Thesaurus Linguae Latinae (a dictionary of the entire Latin language) in Munich for 2012-13.
