Associate Professor at the University of Utah, Dr. Erin O'Connell, uses gangsa rap to help her students engage with Homer's The Iliad. Exploring similarities in content and beat, O'Connell engages students and makes an ancient text relevant to their contemporary lives.

  • Dr. Erin O"Connell is great in bringing the past & the present face to face on common ground. Had she been my professor in college, I would've had more to take with me following graduation. Hope there are more like her out there in colleges today.
