Teaching
In Classics I teach Latin and Greek language to students reading Classics, alongside the faculty’s provision of classes. I also teach students reading Classical Archaeology and Ancient History, or Ancient and Modern History who have opted for papers in Latin or Greek Language.
In Linguistics, I am the organising tutor for Linguistics in Univ, whether as part of the course in Modern Languages and Linguistics, or Psychology, Philsophy and Linguistics. I teach two of the three strands of the first-year course, namely General lInguistics and Grammatical analysis, and then the core paper and some options in the finals course, including historical linguistics.
