Barbara Gold, the Edward North Professor of Classics, gave an invited lecture at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst on Dec. 4. The title of the talk was "Inhuman She-Wolves and Unhelpful Mothers in Propertius's Elegies: A Consideration of Roman Mothers and Some Remarks on their Colonial American Counterparts."
The last segment of the talk arose from an Emerson grant that Gold did last summer with Hamilton senior Casey Green, who is a classics and history major. While at UMass-Amherst, Gold met with Maria Christina (Chrissy) Rubino, a 2008 Hamilton graduate in classics, who is now a student in the MAT program at UMass and teaching her own Latin class there.
