Warwick Classics Assistant Professor Dr Michael Scott is to become President of the newly formed Lytham St Annes branch of the Classical Association, one of the UKs biggest institutions for the promotion of Classics. The branch has been formed by local sixth former Katrina Kelly. At the age of 17, she is the youngest person ever to take the initiative to form a branch of the Classical Association since its inception in 1903.

The remaining Warwick Open Days in 2014 will be held on 20 September and 25 October.

Classics and Ancient History will be holding sessions from 12.15-1.15pm and 13.30-14.30pm. Book now!

On 30th April, 2nd and 3rd year students taking the Democracy and Imperialism module engaged in a live debate via the international portal with Monash University Classics students. They debated three topics: the power of women in Athens, the most democratic space in ancient Athens and the most radical Athenian politician. Students worked in groups to prepare presentations, then rebutt arguments and make further points before a vote was taken on each topic. Many thanks to the IGGY team who were there videoing the debate, with the resulting footage to be used in IGGY outreach events, as well as on the Plaza big screen on University Campus
