‘Come to terms with its participation in abusive and exclusionary practices’
A North Carolina university that recently made headlines for apologizing for slavery is in the midst of a program that offers a new take on the discipline of classics to make up for its history of “abusive and exclusionary†curriculum.
Launched in September at Wake Forest University, “Classics Beyond Whiteness†is an effort to assist the discipline to “come to terms with its participation in abusive and exclusionary practices that have caused real and lasting harm to communities and students of color,†according to the program’s description on the university website.
