One of the greatest things about Core (you know, besides everything) is that it doesn’t just promote itself, it’s also interested in making sure you know about all kinds of events in other departments that could intrigue you, discussions you might not be a part of otherwise. This week, we have just such an opportunity. This Wednesday, the 5th, from 5-7pm the Classics Department has invited Michael Silk from King’s College in London to come give a lecture entitled “Euripides, Pindar, and Others: What makes Poetry Poetic”. It’s located in the School of Theology (745 Commonwealth Ave) in room 409. There will be refreshments, good company, and knowledge so feel free to stop on by and listen. Bring a friend, enjoy yourself, and let us know what you think afterwards.
Welcome!
The Core Blog is a hub for information and media related to the CAS Core Curriculum at Boston University. It will be updated regularly, with photo galleries, interviews, links to related reading online, news of events or activities, and other kinds of content that help connect our Core people—prospective, current, and former students—with each other. You can stop by here once a week to scroll through the posts, or make this your homepage in order to keep your finger on the pulse of the Core. Either way, we hope you find this to be a pleasant way to strengthen your connection with the great people, the great books, and the great questions we encounter in the Core.Tags

Is this talk going to persist despite the closing of the Charles River campus?
Thanks!

Unfortunately, no. It might be rescheduled though. We’ll keep you updated!
