With conditions too uncertain to plan for the CA’s usual conference at a UK university this year, CA2021 will be held as a
free online event from 6-8 April 2021. Registration is via the CA website
here.
Sessions focus on key issues facing classicists, including inclusivity, outreach and employability. For details of the panels, presenters and timings, please see below. Once registered, you will be provided with links to all the sessions and can choose to attend all or any. The programme includes presentation of the CA Prize and the CA’s new Teaching Awards by broadcaster, classicist and comedian Natalie Haynes.
Enquiries to the conference team at:
CA2021@classicalassociation.org
The Teaching Awards categories and detail of how to nominate are on the CA website
here. Nominations for the Teaching Awards close on 26 February.
