Beyond the Mediterranean Speaker Series: New Frontiers in the Ancient World (Day 2)

We are pleased to announce that Speaker Series will run again this year on 4th March (Monday) and 7th March (Thusday)!
 
These are a series of student-led talks part of our department’s Equality, Diversity, Inclusion (EDI) initiative to diversify the curriculum, in which students are invited to deliver lectures on a classical topic of their choice.
 
The two themes for this year are I. sexuality, gaze and identity, and, II. ‘race’, othering, and (cross cultural) encounters.
