Corinthian Matters is a new and exciting electronic resource and blog created by David Pettegrew an Assistant Professor at Messiah College in Pennsylvania and member of the ASCSA. New developments in scholarship are reaching the public very slowly, which is why there exists widespread popular misunderstandings of the city of Corinth. His site intends to make archaeological and historical research more quickly accessible.
The following lectures were presented by the School during the 2010–2011 academic year (October–April). They are listed in order of presentation, most recent first. All lectures run approximately 60 minutes unless otherwise noted.
