SASA Summer 2024 Reading Groups Announcement

Updated: Oct 29

Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation logo

SASA is delighted to announce that we will be continuing our Summer Reading Groups into the Summer of 2024, with a number of new features. Our Reading Groups are free to anyone interested in the topic and provide a forum to engage with ancient texts in English translation in the context of a discussion group with like-minded individuals from around the world. Thanks to the generous grant from the Delmas Foundation, SASA presents a wide range of excellent groups this summer, all for free!


We are joined by a team of fantastic leaders who will facilitate 19 reading groups across a breadth of fascinating subjects in the Ancient World, offering students of all levels, backgrounds, and support networks an opportunity to dive into the study of the past with a subject expert. 


Topics are from many locales in the ancient world, from Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. Through discussion of texts and ancient history, topical issues of antiquity and today, participants will engage with the past in rich and vibrant ways that apply to modern contexts.


This summer, our Reading Groups will be of three types:

  • one-time Master Classes

  • 3-Week Reading Groups

  • 5-Week Continuing Education Reading Groups


The new format of Continuing Education Groups is specially designed for teachers to count toward their continuing education units (CEUs) required for licensure renewal in all states of the US. For more information about the CE Groups, please see our event listings, and feel free to contact our Continuing Education Team Leader, Kara Brown.


Groups are spread out over the course of the summer, falling between June 11 and August 27, 2024. All groups are free to attend.
