Professor Michele Ronnick keynotes Classical Scholars Conference

Michele Ronnick, professor of classics in the Department of Classical and Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures, presented the final keynote speech at the King's College Women as Classical Scholars Conference at Notre Dame University in London.

The interdisciplinary conference, held in March during Women's History Month, honored the achievements of Hellenist Jacqueline de Romilly - the first woman nominated to the Collage de France and only the second to enter the Academie Francaise - and other women pioneers in the language, literature, history and culture of ancient Greece and Rome. This year marks the centennial of Romilly's birth.
