CALL FOR PAPERS

Deadline for submissions: 11th August 2017

Program to be finalised: late August

We are now inviting abstracts from postgraduate students who would like to present a paper at the seminar during the year 2017/18. Submissions will be accepted for all three terms.

Speakers will give a paper of up to 45 minutes, dealing with any subject connected with the ancient world (broadly defined), the reception of antiquity, or classical scholarship. They will have the opportunity to receive questions, moderated by the joint chairs, from an audience of postgraduate students and to continue the discussion over wine and nibbles. The seminar provides a friendly environment in which speakers are able to talk about their research, take part in stimulating discussion of their work, and extend their social and academic network. During the past years, we have been pleased to attract speakers from institutions all over the world, the United Kingdom, the EU, North America and Australia among others.

The seminar will take place at Senate House at 4.30 p.m. on Fridays during term:
