Carol Gillespie
Project Officer

Carol is the Project Officer for the Classical Receptions in Late Twentieth Century Drama and Poetry in English project. Her role includes overseeing the organisation of conferences and the dissemination of occasional publications which makes available the project’s research to the wider community. She also has responsibility for the technical aspects of the project including the on-line database and the project website. She co-convenes the annual E-Seminar and is in the process of preparing archived E-Seminar papers for web publication.

Carol’s main research interest is the use of visual images as a research tool and in particular how modern productions of Greek plays use photographs and images as a means of encouraging audience attendance.
