If you are attending the JACT Durham Greek & Latin Summer School which starts on the 26th July then keep an eye on your email inboxes over the next week or two as well be sending out important information ahead of the course!
We’ll also be updating the website!
T-minus 27 days and counting!
The countdown is on …. 39 days and counting until the 31st JACT Durham Greek & Latin Summer School at St. John's College, Durham University.
This year’s quiz is ready, so you better get those thinking caps on!

‘Virtual Pasts’ and all that?

Regular lessons with my tutor plus daily practice means my Italian 🇮🇹 is getting better and better! Looking forward to getting back to #Rome in October for a week of research at the @bsrome.bsky.social … time to practice my spoken Italian!

Bedtime!
This is one that needs sleeping on!

19.05.2025 19:03 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Despite having written about proprioceptive and kinaesthetic experiences in the past, I’m now finding it irritatingly hard to clearly differentiate and then articulate my understanding of each term. It makes me wonder if I really applied each term accurately in my previous analyses 🫣🤔 #Archaeology

‘How long does it take before a dead body starts to smell?’

You know it’s time to call it a night when you’re busy writing about the sensory experience of Etruscan funerary rituals & you can no longer work out if you should be using the word ‘effect’ or ‘affect’.
Bed time 😴
There is still time to apply!

We’re thrilled that the Classical Association is once again supporting @jactdurham.bsky.social
with one of their generous grants. Our kind donors help us open Classics & Classics education to those students who might otherwise be unable to attend the course & we’re so grateful for this.
My current line of research is panning out quite nicely! However, I have come to the inevitable question of ‘what is ritual’? … a question that I know is not as straightforward as it might seem!

Having deciphered a section of Prayon’s - Frühetruskische Grab-Und Hausarchitektur, I’ve re-assessed the burial I’ve been working on and my sensory analysis has taken a different, but intriguing turn!
This is fun 🤩

I’m looking forward to spending the week in Durham this summer for the @jactdurham.bsky.social. I’m not teaching this year, I’ve taken on the role of Operations Director for the Summer School! There’s always so much to get done!
Dates for this year: 26th July to 2nd August!

Getting annoyed with Microsoft Word for suggesting I use some different words & terminology.
Thank you for the suggestion Microsoft, but if I follow your advice it’ll completely change what I’m trying to argue! 😑 …
Don’t stop telling me though, I’m scared to turn this functionality off 😂
The nights are drawing out, the sun is trying to break through the clouds & it’s getting a bit warmer every day. This also means that we’re one month closer to @jactdurham.bsky.social
We’ll be closing applications for 2025 on the 20th May, so that gives you a grand total of 81 days to register.
My research schedule is so haphazard! I put the hours in, but I wish I could fall into a routine. I research part time so it can be difficult to plan. I’ve annoyingly started to become super productive at night, but I’m not a night owl 🦉 I want to be productive DURING THE DAY when I’m awake 😂

Not bad if I do say so myself! My spoken Italian is improving by the day! Need to pluck up the courage & just engage people in conversation when I’m in Rome later this year! 🇮🇹

I found this on a ‘Light Reading’ display in the library. I don’t know if I should be offended 😂 … light reading indeed 😑
