Guest Lectures from Dr Cora Beth Fraser and Ellen Boekee MA

Dr Gina May is proud to host two special guest lectures from Dr Cora Beth Fraser and a short four lecture series from Ellen Boekee MA.

Dr Cora Beth Fraser takes a look at the off-beat and quirky world of Creative Classics: from Lego Classicism, comic books and toys, to fine art, video and innovative book forms in her first session. In her second session, Neurodivergent Classics, she looks at what it’s like to be ‘different’ in Classics, and investigates the possible benefits of an unconventional approach to language learning, sensory studies and other areas of our discipline. Book both of Cora Beth’s lectures to receive a 20% discount.

Ellen Boekee MA is presenting a set of four lectures which work together to provide a really in-depth understanding of the importance of death and dying in Rome.  These will be of particular interest to those studying Death and its rituals in Rome. Book all four of Ellen’s lectures in the series to receive a 20% discount.

Ancient Greek Translation Master Classes

GinaMay.co.uk is proud to announce a series of eight two hour masterclasses for translating primary source Ancient Greek texts. These sessions can be booked individually or all eight together which qualifies you for a substantial discount. The series of masterclasses are being presented three times over the next 12 months.

Each week we will translate an extract from a different source which will be provided in advance via email.  Before each class you will also receive some suggestions for background reading which will inform your thinking and provide a context for the source. The texts to be translated include some of those by Aristotle, Homer, Hesiod, Thucydides, Xenophon, Pausanius and Herodotus.

These classes are designed for intermediate-advanced level Ancient Greek learners who want to expand their skill and learn how to tackle extracts from the texts that underpin the study of the ancient world.  If you have no knowledge of Ancient Greek, you are advised to do the Introduction to Ancient Greek course in advance.  If you are unsure about whether your level of Greek is suitable for these classes, please email Gina on gina@ginamay.co.uk
