My exploration of the Gemini narrative not only explores the challenges faced by Ovid鈥檚 poetry but also illustrates Ovid鈥檚 inventive strategies as he grapples with and&nbsp;adapts to the challenges of past and present history and politics. The Gemini story in Book 5, though only 28 lines of text, represents a microcosm of the complexity of Ovid鈥檚 poetry and the difficulty of any definitive interpretation of it.</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <h2> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--ucb-related-articles-block paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div>Off</div> </div> </h2> <div>Traditional</div> <div>0</div> <div>On</div> <div>White</div> Tue, 23 Jan 2024 21:45:47 +0000 Anonymous 1924 at /classics /classics/2023/01/18/congratulations-rachel-dzugan <span>Congratulations to Rachel Dzugan!</span> <span><span>Anonymous (not verified)</span></span> <span><time datetime="2023-01-18T10:36:16-07:00" title="Wednesday, January 18, 2023 - 10:36">Wed, 01/18/2023 - 10:36</time> </span> <div> <div class="imageMediaStyle focal_image_wide"> <img loading="lazy" src="/classics/sites/default/files/styles/focal_image_wide/public/article-thumbnail/img_4309.jpg?h=f3351001&amp;itok=gpxFWlmY" width="1200" height="800" alt="Rachel Dzugan"> </div> </div> <div role="contentinfo" class="container ucb-article-categories" itemprop="about"> <span class="visually-hidden">Categories:</span> <div class="ucb-article-category-icon" aria-hidden="true"> <i class="fa-solid fa-folder-open"></i> </div> <a href="/classics/taxonomy/term/137"> News and Events </a> <a href="/classics/taxonomy/term/273"> spotlight </a> </div> <div role="contentinfo" class="container ucb-article-tags" itemprop="keywords"> <span class="visually-hidden">Tags:</span> <div class="ucb-article-tag-icon" aria-hidden="true"> <i class="fa-solid fa-tags"></i> </div> <a href="/classics/taxonomy/term/167" hreflang="en">announcements</a> <a href="/classics/taxonomy/term/272" hreflang="en">dzugan</a> <a href="/classics/taxonomy/term/141" hreflang="en">spotlight</a> <a href="/classics/taxonomy/term/169" hreflang="en">student recognition</a> </div> <div class="ucb-article-content ucb-striped-content"> <div class="container"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--article-content paragraph--view-mode--default 3"> <div class="ucb-article-text" itemprop="articleBody"> <div><p> </p><div class="align-right image_style-medium_750px_50_display_size_"> <div class="imageMediaStyle medium_750px_50_display_size_"> <img loading="lazy" src="/classics/sites/default/files/styles/medium_750px_50_display_size_/public/article-image/img_4309.jpg?itok=ngkY61zc" width="750" height="563" alt="Rachel Dzugan"> </div> </div> Please join us in congratulating doctoral student Rachel Dzugan, who has won a&nbsp;<strong>Graduate Part Time Instructor Appreciation Award</strong>&nbsp;from the Graduate School in recognition of her 鈥渉ard work, creativity, and continued excellence in teaching.鈥�&nbsp;&nbsp;As an MA student, Rachel worked as a Teaching Assistant for various courses in Greek and Roman culture. Since entering the PhD program, she has taught second- and third-semester Latin as a Graduate Part-time Instructor.&nbsp; In addition, this fall she has been working with the Program in Writing and Rhetoric and with <a href="/classics/jackie-elliott" rel="nofollow">Prof. Elliott</a> to prepare to teach our writing-intensive class, "Argument from Evidence," next year. She also volunteered to serve as the Center for Teaching and Learning鈥檚 Lead Graduate Student for the Classics Department.&nbsp;&nbsp;Faculty reports on visits to her Latin classroom were lavish with their praise.&nbsp; They note her 鈥渆asygoing confidence that is clearly resonating quite well with her students,鈥� that she 鈥渟ets a high standard in her classroom and expects students to work hard and demonstrate true proficiency,鈥� and that 鈥渟he teaches like somebody who has spent years in the classroom, and is a credit to her department and university.鈥�&nbsp; Rachel herself explains that 鈥淭hrough the cultivation of curiosity and a sense of exploration, I foster in my students an enjoyment of learning that can apply broadly to life.鈥� She richly deserves this award and this recognition from the Graduate School.<p>&nbsp;</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <h2> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--ucb-related-articles-block paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div>Off</div> </div> </h2> <div>Traditional</div> <div>0</div> <div>On</div> <div>White</div> Wed, 18 Jan 2023 17:36:16 +0000 Anonymous 1871 at /classics
