*2010 APA/AIA Roundtable : **
**Explaining “Otherness”: Ancient (Homo)sexuality in the Classroom*

Organizers: Alexander Perkins (UC Irvine) and Konstantinos P.
Nikoloutsos (Berea College)

This roundtable provides a forum in which graduate students and faculty
can discuss questions associated with teaching “queer” topics from
classical antiquity. Possible discussions include: What should be the
goals of a class on ancient (homo)sexuality? Can a canon of “queer”
texts exist? How does one explain the practice of pederasty to
undergraduate students? What is the best approach to the archeological
evidence for the classroom? What kind of theoretical tools can we use to
defend such a class against conservatives and censors? How can we help
students enrich their perceptions about ancient sexuality?
