Once the province and tool of elite learning in American society,
and the core of the Humanities, the study of the Classics now
occupies a tenuous place on the margins of curriculum in most
public schools. Administrators of schools and districts with
limited resources, teachers, and students of ancient Greek and
Roman culture and language confront many questions regarding the
relevance and utility of including the Classics in education that
must address modern challenges. In this book, Toni Ryan argues that
the Classics provide students with a uniquely wide range of
opportunities for critical examination of the connections among
language, cultural constructions of power and knowledge, and
oppression in society. She proposes a rationale for incorporating a
critical approach to classical studies in American public schools
as a path to exploring social justice issues. Critical pedagogy in
Classics offers a platform for illuminating paths for critical
awareness, reflection, and action in the quest to understand and
address the broad concerns of social justice. Ryan asserts the
potential for education in Classics to be reconstructed to empower
and emancipate, particularly through the exploration of
philosophical questions that have been pondered in classical
cultures (and in classical studies) since antiquity. For public
school educators and students, the examination of classical
language and culture allows us to safely explore critical questions
in an admittedly unsafe world. Those questions that are eternally
ours, that are eternally centered in the human condition, are the
province of Classics.
