The faculty of the Classics department work in literature, linguistics, history, archaeology, and philosophy. We are developing innovative approaches to the study of Greco-Roman antiquity through our collaborative work with scholars in a wide variety of fields. We belong to international research networks and we teach, publish, and host workshops and conferences with colleagues from Art History, the Committee on Social Thought, Comparative Literature, the Divinity School, English, Germanic Studies, History, the Law School, Linguistics, the Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures, Philosophy, Political Science, Romance Languages, and Theater and Performance Studies. In keeping with the wide ranging research agendas of our faculty, the culture of Classics at the University of Chicago is pluralistic. In addition to the Ph.D Program in Classical Languages and Literatures, the department offers a joint Ph.D. in Classics and Social Thought. More information about each of these programs can be found in the program descriptions.
