Professor Kozlowski Lectures

Professor Kozlowski takes a deep dive into the style and structure of the Iliad - he examines multiple translations to discuss the priorities and pitfalls of each, summarizes some of the eccentricities of the Greek language, and discusses key features of Homeric epics, including dactylic hexameter, enjambment, epic simile, and other fancy poetry stuff.  He also butchers reading Greek a few times, so there's that.

Professor Kozlowski tries to contextualize the Iliad of Homer by reading through the Trojan War narrative in the Library of Apollodorus.  Along the way, he presents the timeline of fifteen-hundred years between the (supposed) events of the Trojan War and the digested version found in Apollodorus, and he discusses the major gods, goddesses, characters and events in the mythic tradition surrounding the Trojan War.

Professor Kozlowski kicks off a new semester (well in advance) and a new class: Troy and the Trojan War.  In this class, he'll look at the Iliad, Homer, and the legacy of the Trojan War - in its own time, and through history.  But first, he discusses the class expectations and parameters in painstaking detail.

Professor Kozlowski will NOT be recording his ethics class this summer, alas - but offers this one-off episode about the current state of discourse about abortion.  In it he'll discuss some important writings on the issue, assumptions made by both pro-life and pro-choice advocates, and the political expediency of polarizing voters (along with its potentially-disastrous long-term consequences for both voters and politicians). Coming soon: "Troy and the Trojan War" - get your copies of Lombardo's Iliad while you can!

Professor Kozlowski deviates from his usual curriculum to entertain his wife's lecture request: Today we are discussing Diana Gabaldon's Outlander - its role in the history of the novel, and the women-targeted romance-novel especially, as well as its anomalous value as a work of rich, good women's romance literature in a world dominated by unhealthy attitudes toward romance and female sexuality.  If that sounds boring to you, then you are exactly who I hope to reach.
