I guess the 'not teaching the white elite male' viewpoint, for me, comes more naturally from a feminist pedagogy than a revolutionary pedagogy, as does most of the suggestions relating to my discipline that you make. Same for the breaking down the Canon of Homer and Virgil as the only things that are worth studying - that feels more about feminism than revolution in terms of my politics. Not that revolutionary pedagogy isn't a useful tool in the general box, but it's not useful for me.

I have to say that I feel very strongly about the idea of Classics being - submerged into a discipline that looks at everything. Perhaps it's more about trying to bring the ancient histories of other civilisations to the same level of respect, and then starting the interdisciplinary dialogue between them. As I say, it's an idea to know about, but I don't think I'm in a place to use it.
