Oh.

Oh.

I'm Sue, and I'm a, an assistant professor, um, in the Department of Classics.

I also teach on the Trinity Access Program because I believe third level education is a human right for all.

Um, what I'm really interested in is, um, the classical world, the ancient past, and how it shines a mirror on today's world.

And I think it's never been more urgent to study classics than it is now, with all the fake information, all the different, um, you know, social media, all these different sorts of platforms that are confusing people.

And people now instantly sort of think if they see it on social media or it's made by a confident, powerful person on social media or on, or in other media, that it must be true.

So what do you think s- exploring these past societies, exploring even past mythologies, exploring buildings, how does that help us to understand ideas about politics or identity or power or democracy?
