Critical research on the perception of first-year high school students about Roman slavery proven in stories in the Cambridge textbook Latin course, Ella Parodi

Abstract

Most research to date on teaching Roman slavery has focused on teachers ’perceptions of approaching the sensitive issue of slavery with certain critiques of source materials such as the CLC textbook or Ecce Romani (Robinson, 2017; Bostick, 2018; Dubois, 2014). Although there has been criticism for presenting slavery, there has not been much research on how this representation and characterization of slavery affects, if at all, the students who deal with these texts.
