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.
We are giving our members one last chance to RSVP for Professor Michael Scott’s lecture via the emailed link. Please do so by 5pm tomorrow so we can get the remaining tickets available on Eventbrite. Thank you.
Not long to go now and we are expecting this to be a busy one so are giving our existing members a chance to RSVP first. Please look out for an email from our secretary Matt later this evening! Remaining spots will go live on Eventbrite from April 15th @profmcscott
