Dear students This message brings you information about a seminar series which you may be interested in attending or at which you may wish to give a paper. Postgraduate Work-in-Progress Seminar Institute of Classical Studies School of Advanced Study University of London http://www.pgwip.org.uk [log in to unmask] PGWIP is the national seminar for postgraduate students in classical studies. We provide a friendly environment in which speakers are able to talk about their research, take part in stimulating discussion of their paper, and extend their social and academic network. Speakers give a paper of about 45 minutes duration dealing with any subject connected with the ancient world (broadly defined), the reception of antiquity, or classical scholarship. They have the opportunity to receive questions from an audience of postgraduate students and to continue the discussion over wine and nibbles. In 2010/11 PGWIP hosted twenty-seven speakers, drawn from Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Exeter, Kent, King's College London departments of Classics, Digital Humanities, and History, Liverpool, Brasenose, Corpus Christi, Exeter, Keble, St John's, The Queen's, and University Colleges, Oxford, Princeton, Royal Holloway University of London, Siena, St Andrews, The Sorbonne, and University College London departments of Greek and Latin and History. The joint chairs for 2011/12 will be Gillian Granville Bentley (KCL), Jess Lloyd (Roehampton), Beth Rowell (UCL), and Gabrielle Villais (UCL).
