The Department of Ancient Classics extends its congratulation Stephen Burgess, third year undergraduate in Greek and Roman Civilization, who has received a bursary from the Irish Institute of Hellenic Studies at Athens. The award provides €500 as a contribution to expenses connected with a trip to Athens for the purpose of independent research.  Stephen intends to use the award to support a research project on the visibility of women in Classical Athens. He hopes to use the physical remains of the ancient sites within Athens to demonstrate that women were visible throughout the city during the Classical period.
