40: Emma Bridges (Institute of Classical Studies)

Emma joins David to talk about her work as Public Engagement Fellow at the ICS, including some of the projects she's been involved in, the growing realisation among university departments that outreach is a vital, and how its important to engage with people with a wide variety of skills in developing such projects. Emma also discusses her work on Xerxes and his reception in the Roman World (and in 300), her current research on military wives in ancient Greece and their modern counterparts, how meeting a classics teacher at sixth-form open evening sent her on the path to studying the ancient world, and how it would be interesting to see Phoebe Waller-Bridge try her hand at adapting ancient myth. Emma Bridges is Public Engagement Fellow at the Institute of Classical Studies. You can find her on Twitter @emmabridges. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
