REDEFINING CLASSICS

Bryan Whitchurch began his path in Classics as an undergraduate
at Utah State University. He moved out East for an MAT in Latin and Classical Humanities at UMASS Amherst which led to a rich array of experiences in Boston at the Boston Latin School, NYC at the Brooklyn Latin School, and now DC at the Washington Latin School where he currently serves as the Chair of Classics and in a number of other capacities. He came to Washington Latin immediately following the completion of a Ph.D. in Classical Philology at Fordham University with a dissertation on Ubertino Posculo’s Latin epic in Vergilian style about the Fall of Constantinople in 1453. His interests in Classics are centered in questions of reception, the current expression of which have taken the form of how to bring the Classics to the public at large through K-12 schools. This year marks his 18th as an educator.

On May 11th, he will be on the School Leaders’ Panel.
