Overview
\nThe Center for Canon Expansion and Change (CCEC) seeks applications for participants in its 4th annual Summer Program (1st ancient summer program)\, now funded by a $500\,000 grant. Participants will take part in a week-long collaborative workshop\, in which they learn about figures in an expanded canon of ancient philosophy and cutting-edge research on them\; discuss inclusive\, student-centered\, and equitable pedagogy (with 2 sessions dedicated to teaching a predominantly white audience in predominantly white institutions)\; and collaboratively craft their own ancient \;course syllabus. After the workshop\, participants and guides will meet regularly and continue to communicate as their courses (and future versions of it) are implemented. Participants will also receive an award from CCEC attesting to their experience with canon expansion and inclusive teaching.
\nTarget Audience
\nWe are particularly interested in receiving applications from faculty members\, though advanced graduate students\, contingent faculty\, and postdocs are encouraged to apply.
\nThe workshop guides are the co-directors of the Center for Canon Expansion and Change (CCEC) as well as outside experts.

\nAbout
\nThe Center for Canon Expansion and Change (CCEC) was founded in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Minnesota\, Twin Cities\, in 2021 with the goal of effecting meaningful change in the way that philosophy is done\, understood\, organized\, and &ndash\; especially &ndash\; taught. In particular\, CCEC focuses on supporting instructors who want to teach neglected figures or a new canon of early modern philosophy\, but otherwise lack the resources to do so. CCEC aims to teach instructors how to create a safe and vibrant learning environment that speaks to a multitude of perspectives and allows students to learn about philosophers with voices like their own. The idea behind this is that we tend to teach as we have been taught\, and this is the way (at least in part) the canon is maintained or upheld. This also means that this is where we can best effect change: if instructors are taught to think of the canon in a broader and inclusive way\, their students will too. Moreover\, it&rsquo\;s only through changing the canon and understanding the way in which our respective positionalities affect learning in the classroom that we can be in a better position to change the face of philosophy. \;

\nWittgenstein and Ancient Philosophy \;(29.6&ndash\;1.7.2026 Athens\, Greece)
\nLudwig Wittgenstein&rsquo\;s relation to the history of ancient philosophy constitutes a riddle. Wittgenstein was certainly not a scholarly oriented philosopher\, who would have commented at large on classical works like Aristotle&rsquo\;s \;Metaphysics\, or entered disputes concerning their correct interpretation. On the other hand\, it is well known that Wittgenstein had read select classical philosophical authors and was deeply impressed by them: after all\, he started his \;Philosophical Investigations \;with a Latin quotation from St. Augustine&rsquo\;s \;Confessiones\, and he refers or alludes to Plato&rsquo\;s dialogues in many contexts (e.g. PI §\;46). Some manuscripts and typescripts contain further references to various ancient philosophers.
\nThe conference &ldquo\;Wittgenstein and Ancient Philosophy&rdquo\; invites scholars to discuss Wittgenstein&rsquo\;s relation to the heritage of ancient (Greek and Roman) philosophy. We invite contributions that explore the topic understood in a broad fashion. Possible themes include &ndash\; but are not limited to &ndash\; Wittgenstein&rsquo\;s references to ancient authors\; connections and parallels between Wittgenstein and early Greek philosophy\, Socrates\, Plato and Platonism\, Aristotle\, and Hellenistic and Roman schools of thought\; or classics of ancient philosophy revisited in the light of Wittgenstein&rsquo\;s insights (and vice versa). We are also open to promising papers that discuss Wittgenstein in relation to other genres of ancient Greek literature.
We welcome paper proposals for the conference. Abstracts up to 500 words should be submitted by email to \;wittgenstein@finninstitute.gr. Abstracts should include the author&rsquo\;s name\, affiliation\, contact information\, and the title of the paper. Accepted proposals will be given a presentation time of 40 minutes (25 minutes for presentation and 15 minutes for discussion).
The deadline for proposals is \;31 January 2026.
Notification of acceptance will be sent out by \;28 February 2026.
There is no conference fee. However\, selected speakers should be prepared to pay for their own travel and accommodation.

\n\nThe Many Faces of Female Virtue in Greek and Roman Culture
\nExedra Mediterranean Center\, Syracuse\, Sicily\, November 22-26\, 2026
\nWith a post-conference tour November 27-28
\nWas \;aretē \;in ancient Greece and Rome different for females and males? Pericles&rsquo\; much-vaunted claim that the virtue of \;gynaikes \;is &ldquo\;not to be talked of&rdquo\; (Thucydides \;2.45.2) seems to suggest as much\, but his words are aimed specifically at war-widows and wives. The surviving evidence suggests that mortal and immortal females fulfilled a great diversity of roles and expressed a great diversity of virtues\, from choral dancers to athletic maidens\, rebellious wives\, prolific poets\, mysterious priestesses\, charismatic nymphs\, and even powerful goddesses. The purpose of this conference is to explore the many faces of female virtue in Greco-Roman antiquity\, attempting as far as possible to discern the perspectives of historical women. \;
\nOur conference takes place at the Exedra Mediterranean Center in Syracuse\, Sicily&mdash\;the cultural center of Western Greece known by Epicharmus\, Empedocles\, Plato\, Aeschylus\, Sappho\, Theocritus\, Archimedes\, Cicero and many others. \; It will include academic presentations\, visits to the Neapolis archeological park and Paolo Orsi museum\, and a post-conference excursion. We will also enjoy traditional Sicilian food and hospitality\, plus an American style Thanksgiving dinner (with families invited) Thursday afternoon.
\nProposals for presentations related to any aspect of the topic are welcome. Abstracts for papers should be 200-300 words in length\, prepared for blind review\, and saved in .docx or .rtf. They should include a title\, but no footnotes or references. Evaluation criteria include quality\, relevance to the conference theme\, and relevance to the heritage of Sicily and Southern Italy. Scholars are welcome to participate without presenting a paper\, and can request to be on the program as a session chair.
\nSelected proceedings will be published by Parnassos Press and indexed open access on JSTOR.
\nSend abstracts directly to Heather L. Reid at fontearetusa1@gmail.com. Abstracts received by July 15\, 2026 will be considered for early acceptance. Final deadline for abstracts is October 1\, 2026.

\nwill be held November 22-26\, 2026 with the theme of
\nGorgōnes kai Gynaikes: The Many Faces of Female Virtue in Greek and Roman Culture
\nWas \;aretē \;in ancient Greece and Rome different for females and males? Pericles&rsquo\; much-vaunted claim that the virtue of \;gynaikes \;is &ldquo\;not to be talked of&rdquo\; (Thucydides \;2.45.2) seems to suggest as much\, but his words are aimed specifically at war-widows and wives. The surviving evidence suggests that mortal and immortal females fulfilled a great diversity of roles and expressed a great diversity of virtues\, from choral dancers to athletic maidens\, rebellious wives\, prolific poets\, mysterious priestesses\, charismatic nymphs\, and even powerful goddesses. The purpose of this conference is to explore the many faces of female virtue in Greco-Roman antiquity\, attempting as far as possible to discern the perspectives of historical women. \;
\nThe conference will include academic presentations\, visits to the Neapolis archeological park and Paolo Orsi museum\, and a post-conference excursion. We will also enjoy traditional Sicilian food and hospitality\, plus an American style Thanksgiving dinner (with families invited) Thursday afternoon.
\nProposals for presentations related to any aspect of the topic are welcome. Abstracts for papers should be 200-300 words in length\, prepared for blind review\, and saved in .docx or .rtf. They should include a title\, but no footnotes or references. Evaluation criteria include quality\, relevance to the conference theme\, and relevance to the heritage of Sicily and Southern Italy. Scholars are welcome to participate without presenting a paper\, and can request to be on the program as a session chair.
\nSelected proceedings will be published by Parnassos Press and indexed open access on JSTOR.
\nSend abstracts directly to Heather L. Reid at fontearetusa1@gmail.com. Abstracts received by July 15\, 2026 will be considered for early acceptance. Final deadline for abstracts is October 1\, 2026.
