During May and June, Greg Crane, Humboldt Professor of the Humanities at the University of Leipzig, will be lecturing and holding events around the UK on the theme: Greek, Latin and Digital Philology in a Global Age. The first of these events will take place on 17 May (5.30 –7.30pm) at Senate House, room 349 and will be a round table discussion with Dr Imre Galambos (Cambridge), Professor Eleanor Robson (UCL), Dr Sarah Savant (Aga Khan University), Dr Michael Willis (British Museum). It will explore the question of what classics can realistically mean in a century where China, India (with its six official classical languages), and the various nations of the Arabic and Persian-speaking world play an active role in shaping global cultures. It will be followed by a reception.
