So happy to launch the LXXGSN!
Josh, Robert, Ellen, Chris, Andrew & I want to create a community for graduate students: a place to connect, keep LXX research in the wider scholarly conversation, and foster generous exchange.
Join us & spread the word!

Excited to have a copy of this volume in my hands. Crucial for the study of both postclassical Greek and cognitive semantics. @William_A_Ross #CamLXX – at Cambridge, England

Covid disruption means some changes - if joining on Zoom, no problem - only a possible switch in topics. If in person - lecture 1 online only, and lecture 2 a week later (after lecture formerly known as 3)! Please check Oxford announcements.
Just in time for International LXX Day, Zoom links for the two Monday lectures at 5pm (Tuesday seminar will be recorded and available later):

Let us celebrate like crazy.
And tomorrow, let’s get back to organizing until we fully abolish the death penalty.
