Description

About Syria, "Si vis pacem, para bellum," and using music to engage students in the Latin classroom.

Since 2005, Dylan Connor has taught Latin at Bunnell High School in Stratford, Connecticut. He earned a B.A. in Classics and English from Skidmore College and an M.A. in Secondary Education from Fairfield University. In 2016, he was named Stratford’s Teacher of the Year, and he later advanced as a finalist for the Connecticut State Teacher of the Year Award. In addition to his excellent work in the classroom, Dylan is also a successful musician, and for reasons that he explains during the interview, he is a passionate advocate for the nation of Syria, as well.

"If You Want Peace, Prepare For War" - Dylan played and sang this live during our interview. Since we had some technical difficulties, however, I've inserted the album track into the podcast. Used with the permission of the artist.
