Dear Classical Wisdom Reader,

Apologies! While we usually have our events begin at noon, this Wednesday’s live discussion on Plagiarism begins at 2:00pm EST.

Join Harvard History professor James Hankins and Peter Scott Adamson, professor at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and host of the weekly podcast History of Philosophy without any gaps, to discuss what is Plagiarism?

We’ll ask: how and when should we turn to the authoritative expertise of other people in forming our own beliefs? How has plagiarism been dealt with in the past? And how can this help us understand the current situation of the Plagiarism War?

Now, we actually have a lot of really exciting events coming up! So I thought to keep everyone up to date, I’ll list them all here in one spot. Read on to see what’s happening and make sure to register so you can join us…

All the best,

Anya Leonard
