Welcome to Contexts for Classics at the University of Michigan. CFC is an interdepartmental faculty consortium, founded in 2000 to explore the reception of Greek and Roman antiquity in different historical, critical, and creative contexts. 

Browse our website to find information about our mission, events we sponsor, classes we offer, faculty members who participate, our classical translations workshop, and resources for research in classical reception studies.

CFC is an overseas partner in the international Classical Reception Studies Network, and we have an ongoing collaboration with the Classical Traditions Initiative at Northwestern University.

We encourage you to get involved with CFC. Do you have an idea for an event? Would you like to join our email list to receive notices and stay informed about our events? Click here to contact us!
