Research Report: Greek Without Limits
Preview
I am incredibly grateful to my supervisor, Professor Arlene Holmes-Henderson of Durham University, for inviting me to work on this project through the Laidlaw Foundation. I would also like to thank her co-editor, Associate Professor Steven Hunt of the University of Cambridge, for all of his support. My corresponding research poster will be in a subsequent post.
Hiya! I'm Thea, and I'm a second-year studying Classics at Durham University. Although Classics is a study of antiquity, I believe strongly in the real-world value of the skills and perspective it teaches. Because of this, I'm super excited to be a part of the 2026 Laidlaw cohort with my research on the importance of ancient Greek language and culture in the education system. I'm greatly interested in governance and public policy, so I'd love to see my project have a real influence on the presence of Classical education in a wider range of young people's lives.
Outside of academia, my hobbies include reading, film and video games, and I enjoy being active through going to the gym, yoga, and skiing!
