Organisers: Alessandra Abbattista (Roehampton)\u00a0alessandra.abbattista@hotmail.it<\/a>\u00a0and Eleanor Betts (OU):\u00a0eleanor.betts@open.ac.uk<\/a><\/p>\n We are pleased to announce that registration for\u00a0Multitudo<\/em>\u00a0is now open.\u00a0This one-day workshop brings together postgraduate students and early career researchers interested in taking a multidisciplinary approach to sensory studies of Greek and Roman societies. The objective of the workshop is to explore the value of applying sensory approaches to the material and literary evidence of the ancient world, and to illustrate how they complement and\/or contradict each other. In particular, the workshop will demonstrate a range of methodologies and approaches which may be applied to different literary and archaeological contexts, with a focus on how empirical sensory data may combine, or at times conflict, with that of ancient sources.<\/p>\n There is no fee for attending the workshop, but all attendants must register. Please do register via\u00a0https:\/\/www.eventbrite.co.uk\/e\/multitudo-tickets-18818572858<\/a>. The deadline for registration is the\u00a015th of November.<\/strong>\u00a0We welcome a participative audience and with the support of the Classical Association are pleased to be able to offer a small number of\u00a0student bursaries to eligible presenters and participants. If you would like to be considered for a bursary, please send a request to Alessandra Abbattista (alessandra.abbattista@hotmail.it)<\/a>\u00a0or Eleanor Betts (eleanor.betts@open.ac.uk<\/a>), indicating your status and the cost of your travel and\/or accommodation expenses, when you register for the workshop.<\/p>\n We are keen to attract undergraduate, MA and PhD students to the workshop,\u00a0from Classical Studies and other disciplines,\u00a0so please advertise it as widely as you can.
