This Is Sparta! Ancient Government in the Modern Classroom

What would happen if your classroom functioned as a true democracy? Would your classmates prioritize individual choice or put aside personal preferences for the greater good? Professor Mike Lippman discusses a new method of experiential learning that allows students to see how the material learned in their Classics courses applies to their daily experiences, both as students and citizens. Lippman is Assistant Professor of the Practice in the Department of Classics and Religious Studies at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. He has been a finalist for several national and regional collegiate-level teaching awards.
