What was life like for children in ancient Rome? How did Romans think about the idea of family? And why should we bother studying Latin in the 21st century? Our guest this episode is Dr. Fanny Dolansky, Associate Professor with the Department of Classics and Archaeology. She shares how she became interested in Roman history, her work on childhood and Roman religion, and how the pandemic has presented her with new avenues of research.\xa0\nLinks\nDr. Fanny Dolansky (faculty bio)\nDepartment of Classics and Archaeology\n"Brock University professor explores gender identity in award-winning paper" (Brock News, 4 February 2014)\n\u201cReligion and Divination at Court,\u201d \u201cHousehold religion and the court,\u201d and \u201cPublic cult and the court\u201d in The Roman Emperor and his Court c. 30 BC- c.
