In the shadow of Hippolytos: Classical studies in honour of Professor Barbara E. Goff
Event Navigation
To celebrate the work of our esteemed friend, colleague and Co-head of Department, Prof. Barbara Goff, we have planned a one-day conference in her honour, on the cusp of her retirement, Friday 22nd September 2023. We have assembled an international cadre of her colleagues, collaborators, (former) students and other associates to discuss the diverse range of inclusive and innovative Classical studies on which she herself has contributed so greatly to scholarship in our and related academic fields. The conference’s four themes, which engage with aspects of her teaching and scholarship are the following:
- Drama, Theory, History
- A Sporting Life
- Broad(er) Classics
- Re-roo/uting Classics
We are delighted to announce that we will be joined also by Dr Stella Keramida from University of Reading’s Department of Film, Theatre, and Television, who with her students is preparing a performance of (some of) Trojan Women.
Everyone is invited to join us — whether in person or online — to celebrate Prof. Goff on this august occasion, but please sign up here (using the link or this QR code). Please do not hesitate to contact doukissa.kamini@reading.ac.uk for further details or if you have any questions.
