Professor of Classics Barbara Gold attended the annual meeting of the American Philological Association in San Diego in January. In her capacity as vice president for outreach of the APA, she oversaw several committees and their activities (Outreach Committee, Committee on Ancient and Modern Performance, and the Committee on the Classical Tradition). Each committee sponsored a panel and in addition CAMP sponsored a full performance of Aristophanes' Birds (in English) complete with music and costumes.
Gold also met with the APA board of directors, hosted two events for the editorial board and associate editors of the American Journal of Philology (of which she is the editor), and ran a meeting of the chairs of Classics Departments at Liberal Arts Colleges (a group that she founded five years ago).
