Postgraduate Work-in-Progress Seminar, Institute of Classical Studies - 22-29/01, 05-12-19-26/02, 04
PGWiP is the national seminar for postgraduate students in Classical Studies. The seminar provides 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. During the past five years we have been pleased to attract speakers from thirty different institutions in the United Kingdom, the EU, North America and Australia. 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, moderated by the joint chairs, from an audience of postgraduate students, mainly, but not exclusively, from the University of London, and to continue the discussion over wine and nibbles. One of the sessions provides an informal opportunity for MA students to present their work. Past MA students have found it helpful to use this time to briefly outline the ideas they have for their dissertation (about 5-10 minutes each), and seek comments and suggestions from a friendly audience.
