From our Members...
“I have just discovered Philoctetes and I am just going through all those totally fascinating past programs available online and I just wanted to drop you a short thank-you note saying that I am absolutely enthralled by the roundtable discussions I have seen so far and I am very grateful for this. I live in Warsaw, Poland. I majored in literature during my studies and I am preparing for the PhD program entrance exam. Your online resources are the only opportunity for me to participate as an audience (virtual) in such interesting discussions with such prominent guests.”
