This module invites students to organize and participate in a research event, or colloquium, as a shared group project, a ‘real-life’ task that is relevant to academic research culture and that develops skills applicable to sorts of employment.
By working together and undertaking specific organizational roles, students will develop skills in event organization, teamwork, leadership and management. At the same time they will identify and pursue a contemporary research agenda in Classics and Ancient History and contribute to advancing knowledge and understanding of the chosen theme, whilst benefitting from up-to-the minute research by an invited speaker.
