Locus Cogitandi
A few years ago, this project started as a roundtable discussion of Latin writing during lunch breaks. The idea was simple. Create a place for thinking. Eventually, this led to writing some blog posts. Recently, we’ve decided to expand this into a literary journal at the intersection of thinking, classical texts, and lived experiences run by students at the Cambridge School.
