STAGE Presents:
Scottish Classical Postgraduate Conference
University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh UK
Wednesday 16th of May, 2007.
STAGE (the Classics postgraduate students of the universities of St.
Andrews, Glasgow, and Edinburgh) are holding a postgraduate conference on
Wednesday 16th of May 2007. The conference, open to all postgraduates, will
be held at the University of Edinburgh from 10:30 am to 6:00pm.The
conference will not be restricted to any specific topic, but will instead
cover the whole spectrum of Classical subjects. Sessions on Ancient History,
Classical Archaeology, Greek and Latin Language and Literature, and Ancient
Philosophy are planned.
This year we also intend to hold a poster session that will allow
postgraduates to present current research that might be too preliminary to
present in paper form. This could be particularly useful to Masters
students, but is open to all.
Thanks to the generous support of the Classical Association and the
Classical Association of Scotland, we are able to offer a number of
bursaries to help with the cost of travel, attendance, and accommodation for
the conference. Priority in awarding bursaries will be given to those
presenting a paper or a poster, although those who just wish to attend are
also invited to apply by submitting a letter outlining the reasons why they
wish to attend the conference. Deadline for applications is March 30, 2007.
Registration fee will be £10 to cover costs of lunch and materials.
Anyone interested in attending or presenting should contact the conference
organiser, Andrew Rich. His email address is: [log in to unmask]
