Even in these strange times, the University of Liverpool’s Archaeology, Classics and Egyptology (ACE) department brings you its Semester 1 schedule for its international Work in Progress Seminar series.
With a focus on PGRs and ECRs the Work in Progress seminar series is a great place to see the talent that the department’s subject areas have to offer and what is to come in the coming years.
As expected this year will be ran slightly differently, with all the Seminars being held over Zoom. While this means we will not be able to show off our wonderful hospitality in person it does mean that we can open the seminars to anyone who wishes to attend no matter their location.
Below is the schedule of the exciting talks and seminars the department has on offer in Semester 1, all of which are held unless stated on Thursdays at 1pm GMT (1pm BST for the first Seminar):
