SUMMARY:Studying Ancient Egypt & Mesopotamia at University
DESCRIPTION:Studying Ancient Egypt & Mesopotamia at University\nSaturday\, 4 March\n09:30-17:00\nRoyal Asiatic Society and British Museum\, London\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\, Liverpool\, Swansea\, Durham\, Cardiff\, Birmingham\, Reading and SOAS. There will also be gallery tours at the British Museum (led by current staff and students) and sample lectures. \nTeachers are welcome to bring groups\, but individual students are equally welcome. This is\, in essence\, a nation-wide Open Day for the subject area at large. \n*Attendance is free. \nAttendance is free\, but booking is essential as spaces are limited. You can book your space via the following link: \nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/studying-ancient-egypt-mesopotamia-at-university-tickets-30585618408 \nThe event is organised by the Division of Archaeology\, University of Cambridge\, in partnership with the Royal Asiatic Society and the British Museum. Further details of the day\, including the provisional programme can be found at: http://www.arch.cam.ac.uk/prospective-students/undergraduates/OpenDaysAndOutreachEvents/EgyptandMesopotamiaConference2017  \n \nTravel bursaries \n*Applications for travel bursaries are NOW OPEN. \nThanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor and the Thriplow Charitable Trust\, we are able to offer c. 15 travel bursaries of up to c. 50 pounds each\, to enable sixth formers at state schools to attend the Conference. \nThe bursaries are administered by the Division of Archaeology\, University of Cambridge. To apply\, 1) write to Dr Martin Worthington (mjw65@cam.ac.uk) by 12 February\, stating where you will be travelling from\, by which means of transport\, and the estimated cost; also include (in the text of the email or as a PDF attachment) a 250-word statement on your interest in the subject area (it may include illustrations\, but need not); 2) ask a teacher or equivalent (e.g. a museum curator; not a parent) to send a reference which comments on your academic ability and enthusiasm to the same email address\, by the same deadline. \nBursaries will normally be payable on the day itself\, in person. If this creates problems\, please let us know when you apply. \nAddress any queries to: Dr Martin Worthington (mjw65@cam.ac.uk) or Laure Bonner (lmb97@cam.ac.uk)

SUMMARY:Bristol Classics Hub: GCSE and A Level Classical Civilisation Study Day
DESCRIPTION:On Monday 20th March 2017\, the Bristol Classics Hub will be hosting a Classical Civilisation Study Day at the University of Bristol for GCSE and A Level students. There will be four sessions during the day on the following topics: \n\nSex and Gender in the Ancient World\nAugustus and The Aeneid\nGreek Tragedy\nHomer’s Odyssey\n\nEach session will be divided into two halves: for the first 30 minutes\, an academic from the Department of Classics and Ancient History at the University of Bristol will deliver an engaging\, accessible lecture on the topic. In the second half\, current undergraduate and postgraduate Classics students will facilitate interactive sessions which will enable more in-depth discussion of questions raised in the lectures. The sessions will be accessible even to those who have not studied a particular topic before. \nThe study day will run from 10am until 3pm and there is no cost to attend. There will be refreshments during the two breaks but lunch will not be provided. Students will be able to eat their own packed lunch in the conference rooms. \nDuring the second session of the day\, Alex Orgee from OCR Classics will be delivering some training for teachers. This will focus on the changes to Classics and Ancient History examination specifications and will be particularly useful for those schools transitioning from AQA to OCR Classical Civilisation. University of Bristol tutors will also be present throughout the day to answer any questions you may have about the university application process or about EPQ support. You might also like to take the chance to network with other professionals engaged in Classics outreach and teaching. \nFor further details about this event\, please visit our website http://www.bristol.ac.uk/classics/hub/events/. If you have any questions or would like to book student places for the study day\, please contact Hannah Walsh: h.walsh@bristol.ac.uk.

SUMMARY:An Introduction to the Presocratics
DESCRIPTION:On Monday 20th March at 4.30 pm\, Dr Tom Mackenzie will be speaking on: \n‘The First Philosophers? An Introduction to the Presocratics’ \nHistories of Western philosophy tend to start with the archaic Greek thinkers known as the Presocratics. Yet their theories (as far as we can reconstruct them from the few surviving fragments of their work) concern very different topics from what we would expect of philosophers today. In this talk\, Dr Mackenzie will provide an overview of some of the key figures within this group (Thales\, Anaximander\, Xenophanes\, Heraclitus\, Parmenides\, Zeno\, Empedocles\, Democritus)\, address some of the problems in trying to reconstruct their thought\, and explore some respects in which the label of ‘Philosophy’ both is and is not fitting for their work. \nDr Mackenzie is A G Leventis Research Fellow at University College\, London\, and the Presocratics are one of his specialisms. \nThe talk is hosted by the St Paul’s Girls’ School Classics Society. Tea and cake will be served from 4.00 in the Dining Hall and the talk will be held in the Old Library. The event will finish between 5.30 and 6.00. There is no charge. \nThe address of the school is St Paul’s Girls’ School\, Brook Green\, London\, W6 7BS; main telephone 020 7603 2288. The nearest tube is Hammersmith. \nAll are welcome\, but if you or your pupils would like to attend\, please email Gregory Wilsdon at gregory.wilsdon@spgs.org with their names as soon as possible and at the latest by Friday 17th March. Please note that we are now required to compile a list of names of those attending in advance\, and that all adults attending should bring a form of photo ID.

SUMMARY:''The Poetry of Pop: Was ancient drama the rock music of its era?”
DESCRIPTION:St Gabriel’s Classics Department presents:\n \n‘The Poetry of Pop: Was ancient drama the rock music of its era?’\n \nIt is with great excitement and anticipation that the Classics Department announces its latest talk. Speaking on the subject of lyricism modern and ancient we have the bass and keyboard players of ‘The Cure’ (think ‘Lovecats’\, ‘Friday I’m in Love’ or ‘Boys don’t cry’) talking on how modern music finds its lyrical and musical inspiration. ‘The Cure’ are arguably one of the ‘super-bands’ of the 80’s up to the present day\, so this is an incredible opportunity to hear about the creative process in action. For the ancient perspective\, we have Dr. Henry Stead\, author of ‘A Cockney Catullus’ and translator of Greek and Roman tragedy. He has also made a major contribution to the Archive of Performances of Greek and Roman Drama and is the founder and director of London Poetry Systems.\n \nThis event is being promoted to encourage the notion that the ancient and modern worlds are not as far apart as people sometimes think. It will be taking place on Wednesday 22nd March in the Sports Hall at 7.30p.m. We envisage the talk lasting until around 9.00. Refreshments will be provided.\n \nThe talk is free\, but we are asking for donations to support the teaching and promotion of Classics: all money raised will go to Classics for All which supports the teaching of Classics. It is open to anyone with an interest in Classics\, music\, drama\, poetry or any other field of learning: few things are more inspiring than watching experts in their field.\n \nIf you would like to attend this talk\, please fill in the form below as soon as possible. We anticipate great demand for this event\, so to avoid disappointment please do return your slips as quickly as possible.\n \nYours\,\n \nMr. Ives\, Head of Classics\n \nI would like               tickets for ”The Poetry of Pop: Was ancient drama the rock music of its era?’ on Wednesday\, March 22nd 2017.\n \nName:…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

SUMMARY:'From diabetes to haemorrhoids' - ancient Greek medical language & practice\, a talk by Peter Jones
DESCRIPTION:Classics Lecture\, 6-7 p.m.\, Monday 19th June 2017\nSt Benedict’s School\, 54 Eaton Rise\, Ealing\, London W5 2ES \n‘From diabetes to haemorrhoids’ – ancient Greek medical language & practice\nDr Peter Jones MBE\nMuch of the terminology of modern medicine derives from ancient Greek\, often via the Latin into which Roman doctors converted it\, e.g. Greek στόμαχος→Latin stomachus\, Greek καρκίνος ‘crab’→Latin cancer. This rich inheritance is fortunately not matched by any modern adherence to ancient medical practice\, though Greeks are credited with the invention of ‘rational’ medicine\, to some of whose basic principles we still adhere. \nThis talk will explore the language and practice of ancient medicine\, with many eye-opening and sometimes eye-watering examples. All Greek will be transliterated\, and (along with Latin) translated where necessary\, including that well-known Latin word git\, with its many health-giving properties. \nWe have been very lucky this year to persuade Dr Peter V. Jones MBE to deliver our annual Classics Week lecture. Dr Jones is a distinguished writer\, journalist\, and broadcaster\, who is a former senior lecturer in Classics at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. His columns for the Daily Telegraph were published as Learn Latin\, Learn Ancient Greek\, and Classics in Translation. His book Ancient & Modern was based on his columns for The Spectator. As well as many academic works\, he has written Vote for Caesar (about how ancient civilisations solved the problems of today)\, Eureka! Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About the Ancient Greeks but Were Afraid to Ask\, and Veni\, Vidi\, Vici: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About the Romans but Were Afraid to Ask. His latest book is Quid Pro Quo: What the Romans Really Gave the English Language. \nThe lecture will commence in the School Library at 6.00 p.m. and will be followed at 7.00 p.m. by refreshments. All are welcome. There is no charge for this event\, but to enable us to gauge numbers please e-mail Mr Hullis (shullis@stbenedicts.org.uk) by Wednesday 14th June to let him know that you would like to attend.
