Bringing Latin to life
Why did you decide to
bring spoken Latin to the
University?
When I was hired, I was
asked by my colleagues if
I could speak Latin, and I
didn't know that anyone
did. So I decided to do an
exploration of that, and it
brought me to Rome and
to California. And in the
process, I discovered that
there were pedagogical
reasons for incorporating
spoken Latin into the cur-
riculum.
How did you make
your way to the Univer-
sity?
I was a graduate student
here because it's one of
the great programs in the
country. I was an under-
graduate for nine years,
but my last four years were
at the University of Wash-
ington. I'm from Seattle. I
started at Boston Universi-
ty as a music major. Iended
up with a double degree in
classics and comparative
literature.
Is Latin a dead lan-
guage? Do you feel that
there will be a revival of
Latin?
No.I don't see it as a lan-
guage that one is going to
learn as a first language.
I know people who have
taught their children Latin
pretty much from birth, so
I've been around kids who
are quite young, who speak
quite well. But it's still not
the only language they
learn, and it's not their
primary language. I can't
really imagine an envi-
ronment where it could
become the primary lan-
guage. On the other hand,
Latin has never stopped
beingspoken.
What is your favorite
class to teach?
Whichever one I'm
teaching at the moment.
What are the goals of
your courses?
I want what students
learn in my class to go
with them outside of the
class and beyond. I want
them to have a differ-
ent relationship with the
classical world, whether
it's the Latin language or
the Greek language or the
civilization. I want them
to think about language
differently. I want them to
understand English better.
I want the kind of work
we do in class and the
kind of thinking that they
learn to do to go with them
throughout life.
