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.
