SUMMARY:St Edward’s\, Lyne Society
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday 6th February\, at 8pm\, Dr Stephen P. Kershaw addresses the St Edward’s ‘Lyne Society’ on his latest book\, followed by Q&A. All welcome\, no charge. \nA BRIEF HISTORY OF ATLANTIS: Plato’s Ideal State \nThe Atlantis story remains one of the most haunting and enigmatic tales from antiquity\, and one that still resonates very deeply with the modern imagination. But where did Atlantis come from\, what was it like\, and where did it go? \nAtlantis was first introduced by the Greek philosopher Plato in two dialogues the Timaios and Kritias\, written in the fourth century BC. As he philosophises about the origins of life\, the Universe and humanity\, the great thinker puts forward a stunning description of Atlantis\, an island paradise with an ideal society. But the Atlanteans degenerate and become imperialist aggressors: they fight against antediluvian Athens\, which heroically repels their mighty forces\, before a cataclysmic natural disaster destroys the warring states. \nHis tale of a great empire that sank beneath the waves has sparked thousands of years of debate over whether Atlantis really existed. But did Plato mean his tale as history\, or just as a parable to help illustrate his philosophy?

SUMMARY:KCL Greek Drama Dat 2018
DESCRIPTION:GREEK DRAMA DAY 2018 – 8 FEBRUARY – STRAND CAMPUS \nArrival is from 10.30am for refreshments and an informal Q&A with KCL students. The first talk will start at 11.30am. \n“Choruses: Ancient and Modern” \nAn annual tradition\, the Greek Drama Day offers a range of talks and workshops from leading scholars and theatre professionals. Past attendees have found the day useful for engaging drama and classics students\, learning more about the ancient world\, and getting a taste of how current theatre professionals approach Greek tragedy and comedy. \nThis year the theme of the day is “Choruses: Ancient and Modern”. Speakers include Dr Lucy Jackson\, an expert in the ancient chorus and academic adviser on high profile productions of Greek tragedy at the National Theatre and Shakespeare’s Globe\, and Professor Michael Silk\, who has composed music for a number of comedies and tragedies at KCL\, including this year’s Medea. Our workshop leaders include actress Kristin Hutchinson\, who has worked with acclaimed theatre makers such as Katie Mitchell and Emma Rice\, and has an intimate knowledge of working with the Greek chorus on the modern professional stage. Although there will be repeated reference to Medea\, the day’s activities will address other tragedies as well as Aristophanes\, making it ideal both for those interested in this year’s KCL play and those interested in learning more about Greek drama in general. The day will begin with an informal Q&A with KCL students involved in this year’s Greek Play\, providing an opportunity to chat to those currently studying at the college. There will also be a chance to find out more about Professor Edith Hall’s Advocating Classics Education campaign. \nThe day is completely free to all. There is plenty of time afterwards for participants to get some food before heading over to the Greenwood Theatre near London Bridge station for the evening performance of Medea\, including the pre-show talk that starts at 6pm. The talk will be delivered by Professor Fiona Macintosh\, director of the Archive of Performances of Greek and Roman Drama at the University of Oxford. Tickets for Medea are £5 for students – teachers accompanying school groups go free (if you’d like to book for the play please email greekplay@kcl.ac.uk) \nPlease note that the day is most suitable for ages 16 and over. Do get in touch with Greek Play Executive Producer David Bullen (david.bullen@kcl.ac.uk) if you have any questions about this or other aspects of the day.

SUMMARY:Studying Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia at University
DESCRIPTION:Studying Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia at University\nA Conference for Sixth-Formers\nThe Royal Asiatic Society and The British Museum\, London \nSaturday 3rd March 2018\n \n  \nEgypt and Mesopotamia (modern Iraq; ancient Sumer\, Assyria and Babylon) bequeathed to posterity some of the most fascinating remains from all of the ancient world.  Today it is possible to learn the languages\, study the artefacts\, and reconstruct the most varied aspects of these ancient civilisations in astonishing detail. \nBut since these subjects are not offered at A level\, few sixth-formers are aware that they exist as University subjects; indeed\, many A level students might never have had the opportunity to learn about these cultures. \nThe purpose of this one-day conference is to give sixth formers an opportunity to explore what it is like to study Egypt and Mesopotamia at British Universities: to see what makes the subject area so intellectually and culturally exciting\, learn about the various degree courses\, and understand what admissions tutors are looking for. \nThe programme will include talks about careers\, information on admissions\, and the opportunity to meet current students and academic staff from many of the institutions in the UK that teach these subjects\, including: Cambridge\, Oxford\, UCL\, Reading\, Liverpool\, Cardiff\, SOAS\, UEA and KCL. Representatives of the Egypt Exploration Society will also be on hand. There will also be gallery tours (led by current staff and students) and sample lectures. \nTeachers are welcome to bring groups\, but individual students and teachers are equally welcome. This is\, in essence\, a nation-wide Open Day for the subject area at large. \n*Attendance is free. \nThe event is organised by the Department of Archaeology\, University of Cambridge\, in partnership with the Royal Asiatic Society and the British Museum. It is sponsored by the London Centre for the Ancient Near East.  Address any queries to: Dr Selena Wisnom or Laure Bonner \nBOOK HERE: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/studying-ancient-egypt-and-mesopotamia-at-university-tickets-38619481910 \nFurther details are listed on the Department of Archaeology’s website here: http://tinyurl.com/EgMesConf \n

SUMMARY:GCSE and A Level Classical Civilisation conference: Bristol Classics Hub
DESCRIPTION:Following on from the success of our inaugural GCSE and A Level Classical Civilisation conference last year\, we will be holding this event again on Thursday 8th March 2018 in the Wills Memorial Building at the University of Bristol. \nTopics for sessions will align closely to the new OCR specifications and therefore the event will be most directly relevant to students studying Classical Civilisation at GCSE or A Level. However\, students studying Latin\, Ancient Greek or Ancient History are very welcome to attend as well\, as are those who are not yet studying any classical subjects but may wish to do so at university. \nThanks to better room availability\, we can run separate sessions this year for GCSE and A Level students (as opposed to the joint sessions in 2017). \nThe event will run from 9.30am – 2.45pm and is free to attend. Drinks and snacks will be provided but students will need to bring a packed lunch. \nFull details of the GCSE and A Level programmes can be viewed here: 2018 Classical Civilisation conference programme (PDF\, 529kB)‌ \nSpaces are limited and will be allocated on a first come\, first served basis. To reserve places for your students\, please email h.walsh@bristol.ac.uk or sign-up online here. \n
