The focus of the second semester's core is a series of seminars structured around themes in classical research (e.g. the environment, performance, reception). The module is appropriate for all MLitt students regardless of their specific interests. The module also includes a number of workshops on practical 'life skills', e.g. careers (in Classics and beyond), publishing, teaching, outreach and impact, and a small number of theory workshops which support the thematic seminars by introducing students to some key theoretical approaches used in research on the Classical world.
