Following the recommendation upon registering, I wish to introduce myself.
I am Don Braxton, a professor of the anthropology of religion in the United States. I am about to retire after 36 years of teaching. From ages 13 to 22, I was taught Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. I’ve had very few opportunities to exercise these language competencies in my professional life even though they were among the most enjoyable parts of my past. Now in my pending retirement, I’m taking them up again.
I’ve been looking for a local group of amateurs who would like to form a kind of coffee shop salon to study classics for fun. It’s proven quite difficult to find folks. I plan to use these forums to help me break out of my isolation, but if any readers are in the Pittsburgh, USA, region, give me a shout-out.
I look forward to finding my way around the forums and learning from you.
It is nice to meet you here. If you are interested in doing an online Latin reading group please DM me here on Textkit and I can see if we can set something up. I was doing a weekly online Latin prose reading group with others in the US and if you are interested we can try to organise something.
