Michael Scott Professorial Inaugural Lecture - Wednesday 20th February

- Export as iCalendar
Location: Warwick University

In his Professorial inaugural lecture, ''This is Sparta' The Ancient World, Then and Now' Prof Michael Scott will set out his vision for the study, teaching and communication of the ancient world in the 21st century. Far from being a subject of the past, Michael will argue that there has rarely been a more exciting, relevant and important time to be studying the Greeks and Romans – and the wider ancient world of which they were a part. The ancient world then and now is changing – and it has never been more important for academics to be engaged across the spectrum of research, teaching and engagement that will define the nature of that transformation for the future.

Hosted by the Department of Classics and Ancient History and Warwick International Higher Education Academy, the lecture (followed by a Q&A) will take place at 17:00 on Wednesday, 20th February 2019 in Lecture Theatre OC0.03 in the Oculus Building. The lecture is now fully booked, but if you are still interested in attending, please email thisissparta@warwick.ac.uk to find out about joining the reserve list for the night
