Classics

We offer supervision in a range of subject areas related to the research activities and interests of our academic staff. Staff members would be delighted to supervise in any of the areas set out below, or any others where they have research interests. Please do not hesitate to contact members of staff to discuss potential research projects. We have a dedicated postgraduate study space, which makes available an extensive research collection, now augmented by a bequest from the late Professor Douglas MacDowell. Postgraduates play a full role in the research culture of the subject, with a regular programme of seminars, workshops and reading groups. Recent topics have included studies of: religion and politics in the Roman Republic the politics of Ostrogothic Italy the modern reception of Greek tragedy Greek medicine masculinity and the classical monster the construction of the hoplite Roman eschatology Greek and Roman numismatics (in conjunction with The Hunterian, our University museum and art gallery).
