CA Conference 2025
OUR EVENTS
The highlight of our annual calendar is the CA Conference, a gathering of classics enthusiasts from all over the world. In 2025, we headed to the University of St Andrews, in partnership with the Classical Association of Scotland.
The Programme included a keynote lecture by Prof. Lucy Grig (University of Edinburgh) on Friday evening on Protest in Ancient Literature, and followed by a conversation with the CA’s Katrina Kelly and author, Dr Emily Hauser, about her new book Mythica.
On Saturday evening, we were treated to an excellent lecture by our President, Prof. Stephen Halliwell, followed by the Conference Dinner, Prizegiving and then a traditional ceilidh!

Highlights of the Conference included the awarding of the CA Prize to playwright Rob Icke and our Teaching Awards at the Conference Dinner; whisky tasting and piping as part of our collaboration with local experts; and panel sessions with the CA of Scotland about teaching and learning across the country.

- Classical reception
