TLRH | The Hublic Sphere | How can we access the ancients today?

Recorded January 13, 2022. In this episode Lisa Doyle talks to
Helen Meany and Dr Bridget Martin about their exciting projects
which ensure that Classics is becoming available to everyone:
Access Classics (the UCD outreach programme) and ClassicsNow (the
cultural festival taking place online and across Dublin). The
discussion ranges from the opportunities offered by studying the
ancient world to the importance of outreach work and diversifying
the discipline. They reflect on the Irish literary and artistic
tradition of engaging with and reimagining ancient texts, and how
modern retellings ensure that these age-old stories remain timely,
compelling and allow us to explore what it means to be human. To
