Faculty of Classics

 
Classics Beyond Borders: Why More and Better Intercultural Dialogue Matters. Fri 21 March, 1.15-2pm

Classics is thriving in Ghana. It is taught in two public universities (the University of Ghana and the University of Cape Coast) and undergraduate numbers there are bigger than here in Cambridge, and still growing. Classics Beyond Borders is a new initiative in the Faculty of Classics that has formed a collaboration with the University of Ghana and the University of Cape Coast to learn about how colleagues there have dealt with the challenge of decolonisation, increased student numbers over the years, and reinvigorated the discipline.

Join Rosanna Omitowoju as she talks about what the team have learnt so far, the research outputs from this collaboration, and why partnerships of this kind can make a difference to the discipline of Classics.

This event is part of Cambridge Festival.
