This is a podcast for the curious. Strap yourself in for genuine dialogues with people who think deeply and are ready to tackle the big questions, such as broadcaster Terry O'Reilly, fantasy author Guy Gavriel Kay, and journalist Sally Armstrong.

Join Ben Charland to peel back the headlines and ask, what are the forces, people and ideas that shape the human story today? From the Mafia to the Beaverton, women in politics to women in leadership, history to artificial intelligence, and entrepreneurship in the digital age to the art of wheelchair fencing, just what on Earth is going on?

LIVE EPISODE: ...with Our Possession of the Classical Past (Ep. 48)

Mar 29, 2019

Should the artifacts of history be owned by any country, or should they be shared as common human heritage? If ancient Greek and Roman civilizations remain in many ways the backbone of our culture, society and laws, who gets to interpret them? And what about those with an entirely different lineage, especially indigenous peoples? Who are Classics for and to whom do they belong?

Featuring:

Fabio Colivicchi, Professor
Raphaelle Walsh-Beauchamp, Student
Desmond Wong, Alumnus
Ben Charland, Moderator

This panel discussion and Q&A was recorded with a live audience at the Department of Classics, Queen's University, on 21 March 2019.
