CYA’s Virtual Lectures Series is delighted to kick-start this fall season with another enticing lecture.  This upcoming Wednesday 16 September 2020, at 12 p.m. (EDT) / 7 p.m. (Athens), CYA invites you to virtually attend a lecture on Democracy in ancient Athens with guest speaker CYA Trustee Emeritus, Prof. John McK. Camp II, Director of the Athenian Agora Excavations at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens.

Dr. Camp will review ancient Athenian democracy, as we understand it from the agora excavations, and compare it with modern versions, including a consideration of what could usefully be re-instituted from antiquity.

Facilitating the discussion will be John Karavas, professor of Archaeology, who teaches the CYA courses: Sports, Games & Spectacles in Graeco-Roman World; Ancient Macedon to Death of Alexander the Great; To the Strongest: The Ancient Near East from the Death of Alexander to the Coming of Rome; and CYA’s three-week intensive field course Excavations at Aixonidai Halai: Voula Field School.
