Prof. Zacharia receives 2023 National Award for Excellence in Teaching Classics at University Level

Description

Prof. Katerina Zacharia: “I am profoundly honored to have been bestowed this national award for Excellence in Teaching Classics at the University level by the most prestigious professional Society for Classical Studies founded in 1869,” said Zacharia. “As a teacher-scholar of Classics and its reception, my work interrogates classical texts and modern representations of classical antiquity in visual culture, theatrical productions and film adaptations of the ancient world, and the uses of antiquity in Greek identity formation. The SCS citation recognizes my academic and professional trajectory. It validates the directions taken for expanding our curriculum and serving our students, while it also garners prestige and recognition for our University, my academic home for the past 25 years.”
