The IGRCT is delighted to welcome our new Director, Laura Jansen, Associate Professor of Classics & Comparative Literature at Bristol. Laura will be taking over the directorship on July 1, 2025.
In Laura’s words: “I am delighted by this news and excited to start my tenure. The IGRCT has been close to my activities since my arrival at Bristol in 2013, and it will be an honour to serve as Director, following my colleague Ellen O’Gorman’s outstanding leadership of the Institute. My aim as IGCRT Director will be to foster a dynamic, forward-looking, and inclusive research community at the very forefront of the study of antiquity and its reception. I will ensure collaboration with the Board and Bristol, and an ambitious agenda that continues to promote the IGRCT’s international renown.’
