CONF: Teaching Ancient History

Seen on Classicists (please send any responses to the folks mentioned in the quoted text, not to rogueclassicism!):

Classics in the Subject Centre is pleased to announce a new day in its calendar of events: the TEACHING ANCIENT HISTORY DAY, a day aimed at promoting and supporting the teaching of Ancient History in Higher Education and providing a forum for discussion. Ancient History faces unique challenges in teaching a diverse range of materials, and this event aims to address those challenges and present practical solutions.

This FREE event will be held at the University of Leicester on June 1st 2010 in collaboration with the School of Ancient History and Archaeology. We are delighted to have four respected ancient historians who will each give a presentation on a different area of Ancient History teaching. We hope that this event will be of interest to all those who teach Ancient History at all levels.
