SASA Reading Groups
Texts-in-Translation groups connect those interested in the Ancient World through a range of topics explored in live weekly discussions.
RSVP here to Summer 2022 Reading Groups!
Through this project, we aim to continue to open the world of Ancient Studies to students in high school, college and beyond. Each group is led by a SASA Educational Ambassador, a dedicated PhD student specialising in that particular area of study.
-
Groups are set up as informal discussion sessions in which participants examine the themes and ideas in the weekly readings, as guided by the Educational Ambassador.
-
Reading materials are supplied in digital format by the Educational Ambassador several days in advance of each meeting to allow participants to prepare for discussion during the live session, hosted on Zoom.
