Through their teaching and research activities, members of the Department of Classical Languages and Literatures are led to reflect daily on the place of Latin, Greek and ancient history in our society, and on the role these disciplines can play in intellectual training and the development of a nuanced and "offbeat" view of the contemporary world. They are keen to share their experience and reflections beyond the University, notably through lecture courses or publications aimed at a wide audience.
Department members are also regularly invited to contribute to the media, whether as players in the teaching of Latin and Greek or as experts in their fields of research. Several members of the department have taken part in historical popularization programs on radio and television. Discover the issue of Secrets d'histoire (France 3) devoted to Ramses II, Tutankhamun, the Egypt of the pharaohs, 2019.
The department also took part in:
- Sur les traces de... César, program co-produced by Ldv Production and La Une (RTBF), 2018.
- Several appearances on the radio program Un jour dans l'Histoire on La Première (RTBF).
