In November 2016, the Department of Classics hosted a visit by Laurel Fulkerson (Florida State University)   During her visit, Dr. Fulkerson visited  LAT 310 to talk about her research in Roman love elegy.  Dr. Fulkerson also gave a university-wide lecture presenting some of her current research on the mystery of the Roman poetess Sulpicia and the history of reception of Sulpicia's poetry in later literary traditions, addressing more broadly the question of "Ladies' Latin" and the suppression of female authorship as a historical construct.
