Classics & Archaeology Postgraduate Society
The Classics and Archaeology Postgraduate Society brings together students researching the literary and material remains of the ancient world. Our values are twofold:
- foster a relaxed social environment through the organisation of social events and interdisciplinary workshops, and
- support postgraduates academically, through the promotion of research opportunities and student advocacy.
Society Events
The C&A society organises both social and scholastic events, funded jointly by the Graduate Student Association and SHAPS. Such events range from methodological workshops to pub nights and spring balls. Given the largely independent nature of postgraduate research, these events offer a welcome chance for students to socialise and spend time outside of their academic pursuits.
Academic Initiatives
Alongside our social agenda, the C&A society facilitates research-based activities, including study workshops and language reading groups. Further, we play an important role in student advocacy, fostering a line of communication between research candidates and university administrators. In sum, the C&A society works to enrich the student experience for current candidates, and to shape a better future for incoming researchers.
