Warwick/JHU PhD student exchanges

Each year (2015/2016, 2016/2017), one PhD student from each institution visited the partner institution for a period of one month to carry out research related to the overarching theme of the partnership (Antiquity and its Reception) and network with scholars on site. The visits were fully funded by the sending institution. PhD students selected for the exchange in 2015/2016: Desiree Arbo (Warwick) and Christopher Geekie (JHU).
