As promised, here is the childhood photograph promised to us by Alastair Thorley during his talk last Wednesday! Thank you for all the lovely feedback we have had about the evening. Alastair’s personal memories seem to have chimed with many in our audience. @ClassicsNorth

Coming up! Alastair's talk will focus on the process of remembering & recalling ideas about the ancient world, particularly his own experiences of learning and then teaching. He will also consider more generally how this premodern world is remembered & then used by society today.

Due to recent events in the Levant, our online collaboration with the CBRL has been postponed. Our next event will therefore be face to face with Julia Clayton on the 7th February when we take a closer look at the Parthenon marbles debate. @Classical_Assoc #parthenon #marbles
