SUMMARY:Ancient History and History Summer Taster Day - University of Southampton\, 22nd and 23rd June
DESCRIPTION:History/Ancient History Summer School for Sixth Forms and Colleges \n‘Migration: From Antiquity to the Modern World’ \nWednesday 22nd  and Thursday 23rd June 2016\, 9am for 9.30am to 4pm  \nAvenue Campus\, University of Southampton \nMigration touches all of our lives. In Britain today\, we tend to experience it as the product of crises – the familiar figures of refugees fleeing Syria being such a prominent part of the media landscape in recent months – or as somehow inextricably connected to the rise of globalisation\, the product of a uniquely interconnected world. But migration has always been a part of the human experience. This Summer School gives you the opportunity to look at this crucially important topic across the centuries. Why do people move from place to place? How do they move from place to place? How have people talked about migration\, and how has it changed those who emigrated\, and those who experienced immigrants arriving in their own communities? From migration in Ancient Greece\, through to the experiences of Jewish refugees in the 1930s\, and postwar immigration and the making of modern multicultural Britain\, the day’s series of talks and workshops offers a chance to think about what makes experiences of migration different\, and what makes them similar\, across humans’ recorded existence. \nThe summer school will provide a taster of university teaching\, including both short lectures\, seminar discussions and source work\, and would be a great demonstration of commitment to and interest in studying Classical Civilisation\, Ancient History\, History and Humanities on a personal statement. The day will conclude with a joint session with English students\, who will be attending a conference simultaneous to our own\, which will include a panel on university admissions (with members of the admissions team)\, and university life (with current staff and students) and will be an opportunity to get advice on applying for Ancient History\, Classics\, History and Humanities subjects at university. By participating in this summer school\, it is hoped that your students will further their knowledge and interest in Ancient History and a broad range of Humanities subjects. It will encourage the development of your students’ skills in critical thinking\, reflection and analysis. We also hope to foster their sense of educational ambition by introducing them to the learning environment of a Russell Group University. \nThere is no charge for this programme\, but you and your students would need to bring a packed lunch or money for use in our cafes. We also have a limited number of bursaries available to help with transportation costs. \nThe same programme will be offered on both days – please indicate which day you would prefer to attend. \nWe would be delighted if you are interested in bringing your students. Please get in touch with Danielle Lockwood (dll1w07@southampton.ac.uk) if you are interested in attending and to reserve your places\, or if you would like further information. We are also very happy to speak to you on the phone or meet in person to discuss this opportunity. \nAncient History sessions will include: \nFrom Multiculture to Military Culture? The Roman Army in Britain  Louise Revell \nMigration in the Ancient Greek World Annelies Cazemier \nFor Ancient History at Southampton\, see: http://www.southampton.ac.uk/ancienthistory

SUMMARY:'End of the Roman empire: a mirror for our times?' A lecture by Tom Holland
DESCRIPTION:“As we all know from the Roman Empire\,” said the Dutch Prime Minister late last year\, “big empires go down if the borders are not well-protected.” As Western Europe faces the largest influx of people across its borders since Otto the Great’s defeat of the Magyars in 955\, Tom Holland asks what light\, if any\, the so-called Age of Migrations can shed on today’s crisis. Are there parallels? What are the differences? \nThis is a special event to raise funds for Classics for All’s grant programme for state schools. \nThis is Classics for All’s annual fundraising lecture event\, and we encourage you to give an extra donation above the standard ticket\, which will go towards our ‘grant pot’ for state schools in 2016.  We have suggested amounts here\, but you may also wish to visit our website where you can make a donation. Perhaps you would like to join our ranks of ‘Centurion’ supporters giving £100 per year by direct debit. \nDoors will open at 6.30pm and the talk will start at 7.00pm. \nA teacher and pupils from our Capital Classics project will then say a few words and please join us afterwards for a reception with wine and canapés. \nWhen Monday\, 13 June 2016 from 18:30 to 21:30 (BST)\nWhere Royal Society’s Wellcome Trust Lecture Hall – Carlton House Terrace\, London SW1Y 5AG\, United Kingdom – View Map \nTO BOOK YOUR TICKETS CLICK HERE!

SUMMARY:Year 11/12 Classics and English day at University of Oxford - please note change of date - 2nd of June 2016
DESCRIPTION:CLASSICS AND ENGLISH DAY\nUNIVERSITY OF OXFORD – THURSDAY 2 JUNE 2016\n\n\n\nFrom Rome to Panem: epic\, satire and the city\n\nThe Faculty of Classics\, together with Oriel College and Regent’s Park College\, are proud to offer UK Year 11 and Year 12 students an introduction to studying Classics and English at university. The day will include a taster seminar\, lunch in the main dining hall\, two college tours with current students\, and in-depth information on the Oxford admissions process. The day is entirely free of charge. \nCities rise and fall; they are the highest expression of a civilisation’s cultural achievements and they plumb the depths of corruption and degradation. Aeneas flees from the burning city of Troy to fulfil his destiny to found Rome but that can only be achieved through the deaths of young men and women and the destruction of individual hopes. Satan builds the city of Pandaemonium to destroy humanity but gazes with hate-filled longing on the salvation represented by the heavenly city. Disaffected satirists despise and exploit the hunger of citizens for bread and circuses from ancient Rome to the Capitol of Panem. They hate the corruption they see but know that they are part of it. Beauty and power\, corruption and filth are equally exciting.  This taster day will give you the opportunity to explore literature ancient and modern\, familiar and unfamiliar and decide whether winning the glittering prize of the city is ever worth the sacrifices required. \n \nPlease complete the booking form below by 12pm\, 13 May 2016.

SUMMARY:Ancient Rome in Silent Cinema
DESCRIPTION:Ancient Rome in Silent Cinema\nFree event \nTuesday 24 May\n18:00-19:00 | IAS Seminar Room 11 \nProfessor Maria Wyke \nHollywood has released a number of big-budget films set in antiquity\, yet cinema has been fascinated with the ancient world and with Roman history in particular ever since it emerged as a new technology more than 100 years ago. Within a few months of the first public shows of moving images held in 1896\, Nero was brought onto the screen trying out poisons on his slaves. The persistent presence of ancient Rome in early cinema raises important questions. Why did so modern a medium as cinema have so strong an interest in classical antiquity right from its start? What did ancient Rome do for cinema? And what did cinema do for ancient Rome? \nFind out more and book your place. \nthe link is = http://www.ucl.ac.uk/festival-of-culture/events/ancient-rome-in-silent-cinema

SUMMARY:Virgil Lecture 10th March 4.45-5.45
DESCRIPTION:Re: ‘Virgil’ Lecture by Professor Matthew Leigh; Thursday 10 March 2016 \nWe are delighted that Professor Matthew Leigh will be speaking at New Hall on the subject of ‘Virgil’ on Thursday 10 March. The lecture will take place from 4.45pm to 5.45pm in the Jubilee Hall. Professor Leigh is currently Professor of Classical Languages and Literature at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of St Anne’s College; Professor Leigh is considered a most knowledgeable and entertaining speaker. The influence of the poet Virgil can be felt right down until the present day\, particularly in literary works such as Paradise Lost. \nVirgil is a set text for Year 11 Latinists and I would urge those students in particular to attend. In addition to students studying or considering classical subjects\, I would also strongly recommend it to those studying English and History. Parents are\, of course\, also welcome to attend. There is no charge for attending the lecture. Please complete the permission form as soon as possible if you and/or your son/daughter wish to attend the lecture. \nIf you have any queries or require any further information\, please do not hesitate to contact me via: h.morrison@newhallschool.co.uk.
