"Teaching Difficult Subjects in the Classics Classroom" An APA Workshop,
organized by Susanna Braund and Nancy Sorkin Rabinowitz


We propose a workshop with 5 brief presentations (10 minutes) on
particular situations, with materials to help faculty in the classroom.

This workshop would follow up on the very successful roundtable and
workshop on teaching rape at the 2008 and  2009 APA meetings; we would
like to broaden the discussion out at this time. Ancient texts raise a
variety of issues--slavery, infanticide, adoption, abortion, rape,
abuse*, *incest, sexuality *--*that may be difficult to discuss in a
classroom where some students will have had personal experiences that
might make them uncomfortable. Please send anonymous abstracts to
Susanna Braund by March 1. Abstracts should follow APA guidelines.

*APA INDIVIDUAL ABSTRACT FORMATTING INSTRUCTIONS*

     * Abstracts must be one page in length. Abstracts longer than one
       page will not be accepted. (However,see below concerning the
       submission of bibliographical information.)

     * Use 8.5-x-11-inch paper. If A4 paper is used, check that the text
       length from the top to the bottom is not greater than 10.2 inches.

     * The top margin should be .8 inch; the left, right, and bottom
       margins should be 1 inch.

     * Line spacing should be between 1.25 and 1.5.

     * The text of the abstract should be in *11 point* Times New Roman 
font.

     * The author’s name should not appear on any copy of the abstract.
       However the title of the abstract should be in the
       upper-right-hand corner in 12 point Times New Roman font.

     * *Citations of Literature*: For documentation, footnotes should not
       be used. Incorporate citations into the text of the abstract. In
       citing bibliography in the text, brief parenthetical references
       usually suffice, but be sure that these are intelligible. The best
       procedure is to list complete bibliographical citations of the
       most important works on a second, */stapled/*/,/ page, and to
       refer to these in your abstract by author’s name and, when
       necessary, date. Note, however, that the abstract itself may not
       exceed a single page. Please Note: Authors may cite relevant work
       that they have already published, but these citations should be in
       the same format as any other author’s, i.e., in the third person.
