Greek

As studied in the context of the Classics, Philosophy, and Religious Studies programs at Lewis & Clark, Ancient Greek is the ancient language of the great texts of antiquity from Homer, Aeschylus, Euripides and Thucydides to the New Testament to the works of Byzantine Greek authors. Its temporal range is from the eighth century BCE to the fifteenth century CE. Thus learning Ancient Greek provides students access in the primary language to many of the most treasured texts in human history.

    Delving into the intricacies of human behavior and societal dynamics through psychology is what truly captivates me. The unraveling of the subtle mechanisms that govern our thoughts and actions is endlessly fascinating.

    I appreciate that the sociology and anthropology major emphasizes learning about and from life experiences very different from my own. I didn’t realize how narrow my thinking was until I began expanding my perspective and practicing intersectionality.
