This item from the Classicists list looks right up rogueclassicism’s proverbial alley (whatever that means):
Dear all,
We would like to draw your attention to a new Classics resource that we have been developing in collaboration with many friends and colleagues over the past few months. Its name is Classics Confidential and it has the following website address:
http://www.classicsconfidential.co.uk
As the name suggests, Classics Confidential offers an informal behind-the-scenes glimpse into the world of Classics, relaying details of the latest Classics-based stories that have been hitting the news headlines and featuring interviews with a wide range of people involved in the subject, from Profs to PhD students, all talking personally, and passionately, about what gets them going in the research that they do.
Interviewees so far include:
– Phil Perkins and Paula James (The Open University)
– Michael Scott (Darwin College, Cambridge)
– Chris Pelling (Christ Church, Oxford)
– Shaun Tougher (University of Cardiff)
– Katherine Harloe and Susanne Turner (University of Reading)
– Nurith Yaari (University of Tel Aviv)
– with Irad Malkin and Tim Whitmarsh soon to make appearances…While topics embrace:
– Etruscan DNA
– Melancholy and the infinite sadness
– Cypro-Minoan writing
– Ancient Eunuchs
– Democratic turns
– Ariadne’s parrot
– Sextus and his apple
– And so much more…
There is a facebook group to keep you updated on additions … we will, of course, mention any that are drawn to our attention here …
