Ready to explore what your research could become?
If you’re a classicist—PhD, ECR, or sessional—who wants to build something real from your ideas, let’s talk.
This is a free hour session to help you imagine new possibilities for your work—no pressure, no prep required. Just curiosity and a willingness to begin.
You’re not leaving your research behind. You’re living it differently—through design, policy, storytelling, coaching, publishing, or systems change. The form changes, but the fire doesn’t.
Still a Classicist. Still a Thinker. Now, a Maker.
Not ready to book a call? That’s okay.
Whether you’re curious, cautious, or quietly cooking up an idea, this space is for you.
Use the form below to ask a question, start a conversation, or share what’s on your mind.
We're always glad to hear from classicists exploring new paths—or wondering if there might be one.
