CC’s Anastasia Bakogianni talks with T.H.M. Gellar-Goad, based at Wake Forest University (
http://wfu.academia.edu/ted), about using classical themes reflected in modern music in his teaching practice. Ted tells us how he took advantage of his students’ familiarity with rap songs to facilitate their study of difficult topics such as gender, sex, and rape in Roman elegy, satire and comedy.
