So many Black classicists are pushed out before they can even start. It’s tiring but I continue bc I love it. Being a Black scholar is taxing, but it’s brought in the most joy-filled moments. I’m excited to share it with y’all in 2024. 🫶🏽 #classicstwittermaialeechin.com/first-book-d…

BIRACIAL AND BICULTURAL REPRESENTATION IN EURIPIDES’ BACCHAE
wk6: 23rd feb CCS
Asia will use the Dionysus from Euripides’ Bacchae in order to explore biracial and bicultural representation in Ancient Greek tragedy. The work was submitted for her MA Classics dissertation. Underpinned by Critical Race Theory and contemporary emotions surrounding mixed identity, the talk will first establish Dionysus as mixed and then go on to illuminate why this interpretation is inherently important within the play itself and also within the wider context of Ancient Greece.
ALT Asia Choudhry (she/her) graduated with a BA and MA in Classics from UCL. During her MA, she helped to found and is now President of London Classicists of Colour (LCOC), a society that operates as a classical network across London. Now that she is (sadly) no longer a student, she is working in the publishing industry
