The Classical Association Cambridge & District branch talk: Dr Pippa Steele on Endangered Writing

Cambridge & District Classical Association is hosting an online talk by Dr Pippa Steele of Cambridge on the theme of endangered writing. The session explores writing from ancient Cyprus and considers how the study of ancient writing endangerment can shed light on the challenges faced by modern communities whose minority scripts are disappearing.

The talk is presented as an accessible online event and is open to everyone. It offers an opportunity to hear from a specialist working on visual interactions in early writing systems and the Endangered Writing Network, with a focus on how classical research can speak to contemporary cultural questions.

Attendees join via Zoom and can expect a short, focused lecture followed by an opportunity to engage with the topic in a public-facing setting.
