<p class="MsoNormal" style="vertical-align:baseline"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">You are invited to a public lecture by
<b>Dean of Arts Sheila Ager</b>. Professor Ager will discuss the issue of gender equality in both classical and contemporary society. She argues that “the ancient world is not as far away as one might think” when it comes to gender norms. This promises to be
an engaging and enlightening talk! Admission is free and open to all. Refreshments provided.

<span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:#333333">A professor in the Department of Classical Studies, Dr. Sheila Ager argues that, when it comes to the status of women, the ancient world is not as far away as one might think. Starting with ancient Athens, she demonstrates
that old prejudices and ancient discriminatory practices persist in the world’s societies and religions. ‘Women’s rights,’ she states, is a very recent – and both fragile and culturally restricted – phenomenon in human history, and she warns against complacency
– especially in Western democracies where many may feel that the struggle for equality is over.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Arbitrations in the Greek World, 337-90 BC, </span></i>has looked at the issue of peaceful resolution of disputes, which undoubtedly will serve her well in her new role as Dean.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
