The influence of Classics on Modern Languages and Culture

City of London School for Girls is hosting a conference with an aim of demonstrating the strong relationship between Classical Languages and Modern Languages.

The conference’s speakers, all leaders in their respective fields, will examine Classical Languages and their linguistic influence on Modern Languages, and expressions and colloquialisms in our everyday language that derive from the work of Erasmus.

Professor James Clackson – Fellow and Director of Studies in Classics at Jesus College, Cambridge

Dr Llewelyn Morgan – Fellow and Associate Professor of Classical Languages and Literature, Brasenose College, Oxford

Dr Rosanna Omitowoju – Fellow in Classics at King’s College, Cambridge

Joe Hytner- Studied Classics at King's College, Cambridge, Founder of Titanium Tutors

After the talks there will be the opportunity for Q&A. The audience is invited to pose any questions they may have, from etymology to how to make a strong application to Oxbridge.

This is an invaluable opportunity for students applying for Classics at Oxbridge to meet the people who might be reading their applications!
