Group Outcomes

This group runs a weekly reading-group in Ancient Greek philosophical texts every semester at Cornell which is primarily intended for the training of our Cornell grad students. But it is starting to gather other participants from Corridor schools: Mateo Duque from Binghamton has been joining us every week this spring, sometimes in person and sometimes over zoom, and Chris Noble from Syracuse plans to join us in the Fall of 2023.
