The APGRD Research Seminar 2021 will take place in Michaelmas Term, from 11 Oct. to 29 Nov. 2021, on Mondays at 5pm (UK time) online only due to the ongoing COVID pandemic.

The seminar is convened by Fiona Macintosh, Justine McConnell, and David Ricks; and it is co-organised with The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities (TORCH) and the British Comparative Literature Association (BCLA), and with the support of the Oxford Comparative Criticism and Translation research centre (OCCT)

Each week this seminar series brings together international scholars from Classics and Comparative Literature to engender cross-disciplinary reflection on some of the most pressing intellectual concerns within the Humanities. Classics and Comparative Literature as disciplines have undergone radical changes in the academy in recent years, but not always as a result of sustained dialogue between the two constituencies. This series seeks to promote such a dialogue. 

Week Two, Temporalities

Recordings

Recordings of the speakers, but not the subsequent discussions with attendees, are available on the APGRD YouTube channel.
