Sketch by Christopher Lougheed

After reforming the constitution of Athens, Solon went into self-imposed exile for ten years. I am glad to say that Victoria Wohl only took six months away after finishing her term as Chair in July – she spent them as Sather Professor at Berkeley, one of the most prestigious appointments in the Classical universe. But meanwhile, we have already started to see fruits from the forward-looking reforms she saw through before she left.
Among things we have to look forward to more immediately, I would especially like to draw your attention to the Donor Lecture (another of Victoria’s far-sighted innovations), which this year will be given by Barbara Graziosi, Professor and Chair at Princeton, on Monday, May 6. Barabara is going to talk about her fascinating work using AI as a philological tool. Then, on October 11, there will be a public lecture by our PhD alumna Anne Carson in Victoria College – part of a conference in her honour being organised with our support by the Department of Italian Studies. Look out for information on these and other events – and I hope to see you at one of them, or whenever you feel like dropping into the Department!
