grad 10: herodotus

Grad 10: 2012 will meet this Wednesday at 5 pm in Northern Lights to discuss a selection from Herodotus’s Histories.  We’ll begin with some remarks from Mr. Micah Akuezue, resident Herodotus enthusiast, who has kindly chosen the following passages for us: 1.1-33, 46-56, 65-68, 85-92; 2.52-57; 3.38, 78-87; 5.56-80; 7.100-107, 133-7, 152,  205-238, 8.113-119, 9.114-122.  Please note that the passages in bold have been added or modified from the previous e-mail sent out last week.  The total reading assignment is still under 45 pages or so.  All the passages can still be found on Perseus.

(getting down to) business: passwords

A note on the newly resurrected field paper & prospectus archive: two separate passwords are required to access papers.  The first gives you access to the page itself; the second is required to open the PDFs after you’ve downloaded them and is the same for all of them.  These two levels of security are intended to make sure that only Ethos members are reading one another’s work.  Please email ethos@ucla.edu for the passwords.

this week!

Ethos is holding two events this week.

Wednesday, January 18th, at 4:30 PM at Palomino in Westwood: winter quarter happy hour.  Come socialize in the public sphere!

Friday, January 20 at 4:15 in Bunche 4357: Panel and discussion on writing and submitting theory field papers.  How else would you rather spend your Friday afternoon?  Reading Heidegger alone in your cube?  You can do that later!
