Speaker Gail Trimble - 14th September

Thu, Sep 14th 2017 at 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm

“A Classicist on University Challenge - and after”


Club members please log in for more information.

Dr Gail Trimble

Gail Trimble MA DPhil, who is a university lecturer and Fellow and Tutor in Classics at Trinity College, Oxford, became famous in 2009 for her performances on University Challenge.  Gail will talk about her experience of appearing on the show and what she learned from her two weeks of national fame (and its repercussions).  She will also offer some thoughts about her current role as an Oxford Classics tutor, including balancing research, teaching and outreach work - and why Classics students often do so well in quizzes!
